no.

by this logic any beast, humanoid, giant, or monstrosity is actually a dragon because dragons can interbreed with them (see the half dragon template). is this what we're doing? seriously?

have you considered the half dragon template is the problem.

As an aside, I do find it amusing how many people in TTRPG communities insist that humans are BORING when literally other media we consume is about humans or made up by humans, including the races, gods and myths we've made up over millenia.

Humans are so booooring. My blue skinned, scaly, winged tiefling (who acts like a human, lives like a human, has the same biological needs as a human) is so much more compelling LOL

Humans are boring only from the lingering earth background radiation as we do not live in any of the desirable qualities of reality.
a tiefling is mostly human just with a cooler aesthetic

yeah, it's like, oh? so you think indiana jones was boring? gone with the wind? hercule poirot? you're saying those stories are dull because they don't include elves, tieflings, goliaths.

boring, no immoral yeah, the people in gone with the wind suck.

and the other picked a Human!

boring, no immoral yeah, the people in gone with the wind suck.

Gone with the Wind would have been infinitely more interesting with tieflings in it.

Gone with the Wind would have been infinitely more interesting with tieflings in it.

it would have been more honest if they all just worshipped Asmodius, now interesting I do not know nor care

The bedrock upon which 99% of Fantasy sits, is composed FULLY of human (us) tropes. Our hopes, fears, doubts, and ambitions.

The humanizing of the various species has done nothing but reinforce this.

given we are all humans and only have ourselves as true examples, humanisation it inevitable, I fail to see the problem
