Hydronian
"Like a Dragonborne, only not really..." -Rozen Mozfel Tigerscorn, Royal 'Scholar'
Physical Description
Hydronian's average 5 to 6 feet tall at the shoulder with necks around 2 and a half to three feet long putting them at an average of 9 foot tall. They have scales ranging from a Dark Brown to light green. Unlike their bestial cousins when a Hydronian's head is severed it takes near a full day to regrow and will only regrow the missing head instead of two new heads. Instead a Hydronian hatch from their eggs with two heads and as they age they gain more, though never more than four.
History
Hydronian's, created in a ritual gone wrong due to a Wild Magic Sorcerer. The casters had intended to become Dragons, or at the very least Half-Dragons, but not everything can go to plan. The Sorcerer who was among them had their magic go wild during the ritual and caused it to latch on to the closest creature that could match the spells 'Dragon' condition and split it to pieces to fuse with the mages.
Society
Hydronian's tend to live in large nomadic community's and tend to be to Lizardfolk as Orcs are to Humans.
Hydronian Names
Hydronian name's tend to be strung together in Draconic with one name per head and no distinction between gender
Example: Throden Mirik Darastrix
