Dracotaur

The Dracotaur is a new but iconic creature from the Dungeons and Dragons fantasy role-playing game of the Dragon creature type. As their name suggests, they are sort of like Dragon-Centaurs, having the lower body of a Dragon and the upper body of a humanoid lizard. They appeared in Monster Manual III.

Physical description
Dracotaurs, as was just said, have the lower bodies of Dragons with the upper bodies of humanoid lizards. They are large, burly and muscular, and use their four dragon's legs for locomotion and their lizard humanoid's arms for handling. They have clawed hands, sharp teeth, and sinister eyes. They have long, spiked tails which are primarily used for balance, but can also be used in combat. They do not have wings. Males Dracotaurs also have spikes along their spines ands crests on their heads. Dracotaurs are typically depicted as green with a yellow underside, though a dungeon master can choose them to have other hues. They have breath weapons, which are canonically fire, but as with the color, alternate ones can be chosen. Dracotaurs could be thought of as tauric equivelants of Draconians.

Society
Dracotaurs typically live in nomad villages of 30 to 60 individuals in areas which are nearby but disconnected to the lairs of true Dragons, such as the swamps bordering the lair of a Black Dragon or the foot of a volcano of a Red Dragon. For the most part, they are hunter-gatherer-nomads. They are highly violent, power-loving creatures, however, who view strength and authority above all else. The leader of a Dracotaur tribe is typically the most powerful one, or the one capable of casting magic. Though generally hostile to all, Dracotaur tribes will band with other Dracotaur tribes, or other reptillian humanoids such as Lizardfolk, Naga, or Yuan-Ti to fight a common foe to earn them more power, wealth and territory. Although not devout creatures, Dracotaurs are strongly admiring and devoted to true Dragons, whom they view as the emboddiments of their ancient and powerful gods and ancestors, and many Dracotaurs are in the service of such creatures. Much of the creatures' rcane knowledge comes from that of true Dragons.
