Your first mistake was assuming dragons are just animals and not thinking beings in their own right. Several of which are able to assume humanoid form no less. If that charming elf who is actually a dragon in disguise wanted to take it a step further and their prospective partner consented...well...so it goes.

Besides, in a setting with all sorts of magical rituals that bend reality, that's not exactly the only way half-dragons can be conceived.

Still though, metallic dragons are the only ones who can polymorph into a compatible species, and even then, they're morally good, so they wouldn't put anyone through that.

Except...they have? The Draconic bloodline sorcerer can choose their dragon ancestry, which includes metal dragons, specifically Gold, Brass, Bronze, Copper, and Silver.

Whether they slept around morphed as a human or as a dragon, they clearly had to have done so with a non-dragon to create a draconic bloodline sorcerer of their type.

Not to mention that there's nothing stopping chromatic dragons or other types of dragons from learning how to polymorph themselves through the study of spellcraft should it suit their fancy.

Also nothing in the PHB states that your character has to be conceived consensually...if that's what you're implying? ...Wait, are you implying that elves can't consent to having sex with dragons?

I couldn't throw a stone in certain corners of the internet without hitting someone who would love to have some one-on-one time with a dragon. I know I would
It's not bestiality by the way, dragons are not animals.

Bestiality? Really? Do you realise that the creator of the local crystal sphere is a dragon? And the first sentient race that settled it were its kin, dragons? They are creatures of intelligence and magic of a much higher order then any elf. It is elfs that are animals in comparison if anything.

Well, technically half elves are half elf, half HUMAN, so either the draconic relative isn't the father/mother or it's a dragon crossed with a half elf.

Hey! Dolphins are people too!

No, it cannot. Having a dragon as a parent would make for a half-dragon, not a half-elf. The dragonic bloodline is a distant or mystical heritage, not parentage. You could have dragonic blood through magical rituals and such without technically having actual dragon ancestors in your family tree.

They're a vastly different species than mortal races though, not at all compatible unless polymorphed.

It'd make sense for chromatic dragons to make a member of the species they're imitating to think they're having intercourse with a normal person, only for them to probably die during birth 9 months later due to the half dragon they unknowingly conceived. They're morally evil after all.

that's how they rationalize non-human porn in general.

Dude, half-dragons do not kill their mothers. They have scales and wings at best, untill they learn how to polymorph into dragon, if ever, much later on.
Also if it is something like half-breed blue dragon, it will probably stick to its mother for good 50 years. And will pay her a pension after that. :)
Also dragon are mostly creatures of magic. Just like fiends and celestials. You just want to rationalise everything with genes or whatever. But that is not how it works when you are mostly weave.

Still though, the mental and emotional toll that revelation would have about who, or rather *what* caused the half dragon's birth would be truly horrid.

Pretty much anybody can have a dragon as a biological parent. They can use Polymorph as an inherent ability, which allows them to take the forms of nearly any species they want.
