I quite like the whole half-this and that idea but folks do seem to get caught up in it. Heres a couple examples of how I used it.1. In my Dragonlance TT game, I applied half silver dragon template to a Sivak Draconian with the idea that it was one of the early more viable creations. However it still retained a lot of the heritage from the dragon embryo it was created from, so it had proper flight and a cold breath weapon (both of which freaked the players who thought they knew draconians)  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> 2. On the the IceHaven online chat game I help run (see sig link), there is a player who plays a wizard with lots of fire spells (Setting is ice age style so lots of cold creatures). During an adventure he and some companions went on they encountered a Half Red Dragon Behir. Not normally a creature that would have anything to do with dragons, but in this case it made the encounter more challenging for the party because the party had to come up with other ideas to slay the beast due to its resistence to fire.So basically, use templates to create nice backstories or challenge rather than just thinking that a creature has a dragon parent. Look beyond that box.</blockquote>
