Dragonboobery - a character concept.

[Aberzanzorax]

After reading about the dragonborn trademark issue, I got to thinking about dragonboobs again...and stumbled on a character concept.

We know dragons lay eggs, and I think dragonborn do as well.

So I'm thinking about male eastern mythology dragonborn with the wispy moustache like gold dragons and many asian dragons do. Being involved in courtly attendance in the west, he dresses appropriately for the local culture.

Including a massive codpiece.


If only I knew how to draw, we'd finally have a male answer to the dragonboobs debate.


Meet Wang, eastern dragon prince, lothario, debaucher, and mustachioed libertine.

Meet Wang, eastern dragon prince, lothario, debaucher, and mustachioed libertine.

He may not be mustachioed, but given that the dragonborn on the cover of the 4E PHB has his dragonwang hanging out, I always thought the whole "dragonboobs" issue was far less scandalous in comparison.

This topic may not help you nor many others, yet it still brought a huge smile to my face.

Here's one way it could: reptiles have neither boobs nor external genitalia, and it is reasonable to think Dragons, Dragonborn, and other fantasy "reptiles" wouldn't either...

However, if Dragonborn conform to this reptilian standard, and yet wear clothing & armor according to "mammalian" styles, the question is why?

The answer is twofold: 1) so the mammals won't mistake a Dragonborn's gender, and 2) secret compartments no mammal would search except in the rarest of cases.

Ummm ... it helps you inject a little more humor?

I think that was the OP's general thrust.

Well, dammit, it positively interferes with my gaming. I just snorted coffee all over my PC sheet...

Wang... and his brother Dong... <snickers like a 11-year-old boy> And their family name is "Long"... <snort, heeheehee>

I'm reminded of the guards in "A Fist Full of Yen" from Kentucky Fried Movie...
