As a starting point, this is in the campaign background: " The Janasibs are a cluster of five islands, the largest of which is home to a dormant volcano. Within its crater rests a landlocked lake of salt. Numerous pirates have taken shelter along the shores of the Janasibs, wary of the sea hags in the shallows and sylvan creatures which inhabit the plush forests. Aware of their alliance with local merfolk, the Wardens of the Janasibs have sought council with the Matriarchy of Komal. Many of the merrow which inhabit these waters have, of late, displayed magical powers. Though typically encountered in freshwater, these oceangoing creatures have become known as merrow mages. "

OK! What do you need from me?

How does a half-dragon (blue) half scrag sound? BTW, what's the LA for scrag? Does this sound good?

The easiest way to do this would be to create a half-dragon scrag, otherwise the combination of two templates would leave no "base" creature. Granted, one could always create a unique creature instead of using templates.

Simply using the Monster Manual, one discovers that a scrag has a Level Adjustment of +5 and a half-dragon has LA: +3, thus a L8 character right out of the box may be a bit extreme, compared to the other PCs.

You could use Savage Species for a half-dragon scrag. Using troll "monster levels" (pg. 199), and the half-dragon template (LA: +3), you could easily create a L3 scrag and apply the half-dragon template. If you went the other route, to create a half-scrag blue dragon, you'd need Fiend Folio, the Draconomicon, and a great deal of space. ;)

Another instance where Savage Species would come in handy. The ogre mage description on pg. 189 would allow you to create a L4-6 ogre mage (and use the merrow info on pg. 189 as well), as opposed to using the MM entry with its LA: +7.
