Dungeons and Dragons

The Black Dragonborn is a reptilian humanoid race that first appeared in Dungeons & Dragons. This version specifically refers to character options available to players when creating a Dragonborn character, often around the indicated player levels.

Dragonborn are descended from dragons, inheriting physical traits and sometimes elemental powers tied to their dragon ancestry. A Black Dragonborn's lineage traces back to black dragons.

Black Dragonborn typically exhibit dark scales (ranging from charcoal to obsidian) and often possess a breath weapon of acid. They are inclined toward backgrounds and classes that reflect cunning, resourcefulness, or a connection to swamps and decay, mirroring the nature of their dragon ancestors.
