The dracotaur exhales its breath weapon. The shape and damage type for this attack is according to its Dragon Type. Each creature in that line must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw, taking full damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

By Jeff Fleming Countless stories surround the cloudy origins of the dracotaur, though most of them involve centaurs. Dragonborn believe that a dragon captured centaurs during a skirmish on the plains and drowned them in its blood centuries ago. When their bodies were fished out, they had been transformed into perfect, draconic warriors and a new, distinct species. Personality Despite their battle prowess, dracotaurs commonly acted stuffy and were condescending. They were usually more prepared to retreat with their speed rather than join a messy fray.
