Zarinine
Legends says that the Zarinine were created when an aging wizard, yearning for youth, performed an experiment with mixing draconic blood with that from a human. After several unwilling human trials he performed the ritual on himself, but something went horribly wrong. Somehow the ritual was magnified in power, making those that were subjected to it in the past more dragon than human. They lost all memories of who they were and became mad beasts, intent on eating, breading and destroying. The wizard, who was the subject of the ritual at the time, is said to still be alive, in a form even more dragon and even more horrific that the others of his perverted race.
Zarinine look like humans with wings and draconic skin, scaled and slimy. Their skin’s color changes from each specimen, but they are always a mix of base colors. Most wizards hypothesize that the reason for this is because the wizard who created the Zarinine used a mix of different chromatic dragon’s blood in his ritual. They have long, nail-like claws and a strong tail.
