Female Dragonborn - No longer have breasts?

No matter what they do at this point, it'll be at least a little dumb. They're in a vicious little catch 22.

Dragonboobs are kind of dumb (but really no big deal).

Dragon Pectoral Cancer is, to use a D&D term, a kludge (but still really no big deal).
 

I honestly never understood people's problem with dragonborn boobs. Dragonborn are not lizards. I think everyone has some serious issues where they are blotting out "dragonborn" in their mind and replacing it with "lizardmen". I don't know why, but people love them some lizardmen.

NERDRAGE! DRAGONBORN ARE NOT LIZARDS. NEVER HAVE BEEN. NEVER WILL BE.

I would find the boobs more acceptable if:

1. The dragonborn weren't so heavily scaled. They seem to have large, heavy armored scales, not tiny, supple scales like a snake.

2. They didn't lay eggs.

Because real lizards with heavy scales don't nurse their young? Dragon scales are pure fantasy. Sure, some lizards have horns and things like that, but the truth is ALL lizards have scales that are supple, like a snake.

do people get upset that yuan ti have boobs?
Hm? The snake-like yuan-ti (half-bloods & abominations) have never been depicted with female breasts that I've seen. Purebloods are supposed to look human. In any case, yuan-ti are humans corrupted by dark magic, are they not? Not a race of reptile-people.

Do people not know what a monotreme is?
 


Monotremes = mammals.
Dragonborn = not mammals.

It'n not the biological necessity of the Dragonborn's boobs that make them stupid. It's the haphazard anthropomorphization that they imply.

When something looks that alien in some respects, distinctly human features such as big breasts just seem out of place. If the dragonborn had more human-like faces, hands, or feet then the boobs wouldn't seem silly. As is, though, they're out of place.
