* In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyTacticsAdvance'' and ''[[VideoGame/FinalFantasyTacticsA2 A2]]'', one bangaa class, the dragoon, allows them to have breath weapons. Ordinarily they'd be LizardFolk, but it seems in this case they're using their tangential relationship to dragons here.

* ''VideoGame/{{Wizardry}}'''s Dracon race, which can [[BreathWeapon breathe acid]].
* The Dragonute/Dragonewt race in various ShiningForce games play this trope straight, with Elliot and his son Eric being the most notable examples. You can also play as one in both of the ShiningSoul games.

A Draconic Humanoid is a fantastic species that can pretty much be described as the [[XMeetsY offspring]] of LizardFolk and InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons. Not content with simple humanoid reptiles, the writer decided to [[WingedHumanoid give them wings]], a BreathWeapon, and/or other draconic features. Another option is to [[MixAndMatchCritters put said dragon features onto an otherwise human-like body]].

%%PLEASE ADD EXAMPLES ABOVE THIS LINE. Skyrim's Dragonborn doesn't count, as they are biologically human, elf, or beastman.

** The [[PrecursorHeroes Precursor Hero]] Girard [[MeaningfulName Draketooth]], was a quarter dragon (his grandmother was human and his grandfather was a black dragon) and doesn't fit the trope himself, being completely human looking. However, an illustrated family tree indicates that one of his parents and his aunt and uncle did look the part, having varying mixtures of human and draconic features.

* WintersInLavelle has the "Blue Princes" (and most recently, a Blue Princess as well), half-dragon/half-human offspring of a Dragon capable of shape-shifting into a handsome man who decided to usurp the kingdom. Unfortunately for the princes, they are as less easily able to hide their heritage and from what has been seen, and implied, it's generally the rule that they look monstrous and malformed with horns, scales, and asymmetrically sized arms.

* ''Film/{{Beowulf}}'' (2007): Grendel's mother [[{{Glamour}} may look like]] a golden Creator/AngelinaJolie to observers, but whenever she is [[GlamourFailure seen in reflection]], it becomes clear her true form is that of a dragon-like humanoid with golden scales, and what appears to be a prehensile plait is actually a tail.

** The BountyHunter Enor, a half-dragon half-ogre (one set of his grandparents were an ogre and a human and the other were blue dragons), has a mostly draconic appearance, including [[WingedHumanoid wings on which he can fly]] as well as [[BreathWeapon flaming breath]].

* ''Webcomic/OrderOfTheStick'', set in a ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' inspired universe has a couple:

Note this does not apply to actual dragons that can [[VoluntaryShapeshifting shapeshift]] into human forms. See also HumanAliens when they budget-savingly stay in human form when the camera's running.

* [[http://www.drunkduck.com/dragon_city/ Dragon City]] has bipedal dragons that are slightly taller than humans with a pair of wings on their shoulders, they can breathe fire but their toughened throat linings have atrophied. Erin does it once and can't speak for months afterward.

* The Drakels of the ''VideoGame/AdventureQuest''-verse are also a HigherTechSpecies, equipped with various {{Magitek}} weapons ranging from genetically engineered warbeasts to {{Mecha}}.

* In ''VideoGame/VagrantStory'', the LizardFolk count as "dragon" type enemies, and are therefore the only way to grind up your weapon's dragon affinity for killing the rare but powerful dragon boss monsters.
