A reptillian sterotype would suggest this dosent happen and giving the fast growth of dragonborn its unlikely that a baby dragonborn wouldn't be like most reptiles and start life as a carnivor. Thus Breasts are probably not there to feed the young. Besides based on the pictures the mouth looks more like a hard beak with a long lip line good for taking big bytes but not so good for creating an airtight seal for suctionOk so why else are they there ? Did Io look as other exiting races and simply decide he needed a nice obvious way of telling male/female apart ? This also seems unlikely as male/female true dragons dont have this difference, somehow a female Red dragon with breasts would look odd and a more relaistic cow like udder would make it lose some of its terror no ? So perhaps not a God's descisionEvolution ? Did a mutation arise in the population that male dragonborn found appealing ? Pure an astheitc desire ? again unlikely , besides this would lead to male dragonborn being just as interested in other races full figured females. again unlikely.Was Io just a dirty ole bastard god who simply got his jollies off that way. Possibly, God are fickle somtimes but it really wouldt cut it for me as a valid explanation.Perhaps there's somthing I've missed feel free to enlighten me why you think they should or should have a nice rack. (Yes I think we can agree that a portion of the population would just say they look better that way which is fine, I'm interested in an valid RP reason.) e.g. why do dragons have big teeth? for show ? hell no! all the better to BITE YOU WITH !On a side note I wonder if the dev team considered using a real world exmaple of seperating male/female. In the animal world its quite common for males to be brightly coloured with crests and the like while the females are foten brown and pale. The males attrativeness is dependant on how magnificant he looks to the females.Why could we not have something similar for Dragonborn, it could work for either males or females. The Physical shapes would be the same between male and female , with one potenitally larger on average than the other. Thus the only real way to tell them appart would be one of them to have plumage or flahses or colour , more refelective scales a head with much larger prominant and more intimdating horns, perhaps females have no major head horns. flpas of brightly coloured skin in the males tails they could flare out and display in a similar way a male peakcock can , but in a more cool dragon type way. So just curious why it was decided that a simple pair of Breasts was going to tell them apart ?</blockquote>
