[QUOTE="Sunseeker, post: 6413565"] To address your specific examples, I think you're ignoring simplicity in favor of a realism that was never implied. Dragonborn are either created or bred. They're humanoid in appearance for the same reason half-dragons are humanoid, because at some point a dragon bred with a humanoid (there are so many) or because dragons created them to be envoys between dragons and humanoids. There is no lore that supports the claim that dragonborn are reptilian except that they lay eggs. They are not cold blooded. They're kinda a platapus. Minotaurs come from lore where a woman got jiggy with Zeus while he was disguised as a bull. So we've basically got another case of "magical creature breeds with a human" so there's no reason why minotaurs should have udders any more than why they should have breasts. Shardminds are fragments of some sort of magic thing that take on a humanoid appearance. They likely take on said appearance after at some point, encountering humanoids. Also: this is another case of magical creature "breeds" with a humanoid. Whatever the case may be, Shardminds are shaped avatars for a conciousness. They don't have functional breasts any more than they have muscles. They appear the way they do because that's how their conciousness chose to manifest. You have demonstrated no logical reason why any of these presentations are incorrect. You've even contradicted traditional depictions with the minotaur which is clearly depicted in greek art as having nipples. (though as far as I'm aware the minotaur is only ever a singular entity and always male). [/QUOTE]
