What canon might this be? What's the source?

Dragonborn are reptiles *draconic if we're being pedantic, not mammals. Having boobs would be weird. It would also require more dev work - all the clothes and armours would have to be rebuilt for them.

Tails are optional, and were a much requested feature.

They are not "canonically birth defects" - they are "considered by most" to be birth defects. It's semantic, but that's not the same thing.

Canonically they are "draconic". Neither reptilian nor mammalian. Draconic creatures have warm (even hot) blood, unlike reptiles.

They hatch from eggs, but then again so do Githyanki.

The Forgotten Realms Wiki says they nurse their young.

Yes, if we want to be pedantic, draconic not reptiles. Could potentially call them scaly monotremes. Point still stands that breasts don't make sense.

The source for that is from a magazine at the time of 4E. Per WotC's new rules, it's not canon. Egg-laying and nursing both make the other somewhat redundant.

Your source is a wiki. Wiki's are convenient, but you need to check where they're sourcing the info and pics. Hell, there's even concept art of naked dragonborn on the page signed off on by WotC.
Also from the page itself under Disclaimer: "...nor does any lore presented necessarily adhere to established canon."

They share body types. Dragonborn are separate. They could have gone one way or the other, they went without. If they'd gone the optional route like the tails, that would've been twice the work.

Referring to m142's post - "change title to fiat ita"
It's a long existing pejorative 'joke' used to hurt and harm people.

why do you care so much

In a world with tabaxi and half-elves and Elminster, I don't think you can declare anything as "not making sense".

Many birds are helpless after hatching and must be fed by their parents. It's not unreasonable to imagine mammals hatching from eggs and then being fed milk from their mothers.

I don't personally care whether dragonborn have breasts or not. I'm just saying that it is ridiculous to try to make an argument about it either way based on real-world animal classifications. Dragonborn don't exist at all in the real world.

They're not mammals.

No they don't, who told you that lie?

I don't personally care if they do or not either, but about verisimilitude - being real to itself. If we're shown how things work in the world, that's how they work.

If we see a cow, we can expect it to behave the same as a cow. If we're shown a reptilian humanoid, something that is for all practical intents and purposes a sapient walking lizard, we can expect it to behave as such. Having warm blood instead of cold will change things, but not to that extent.

There are actually animals that lay eggs and produce milk - monotremes, amphibians, even spiders, but they are exceptions for reasons and none have or need breasts.

Very. Somehow tore my back this morning and can't really do anything except lie here and look at things.

Takes 5 mins on Nexus to find a mod to fix this for you.
alanc9 Nov 13, 2024 @ 11:31pm 
It's academic anyway. The boobs came off with 5e. So yeah, dragonborn now canonically work like monotremes or some such.

Don't like it, then mod it.
