I was doing some world building last night with a D&D 3.5 base and I began to ponder PC-races and lands they tend to populate. And I'm genuinely pumping in nearly everything in the official WoTC book. And I started thinking...
Aasimar: half human, half celestial, Tiefling: half human, half fiend, Genasi: Half elemental, Half-elves, half-orcs... man humans will stick it in anything (or let anything stick it in them). Even half dragons...
Wait... half dragon is a template not a race. Any race can be a half dragon. Even a cow...
WELL the official monster manual does not have a stat block for cows, but they do cats. So I present to you Mr. Cuddles - the half dragon/half cat.

Ready to Roll
Let's see if I fumble this blog. Part of me thinks I should be more profound. We'll see latter.
