Dragon is one of several possible progenitors you can inherit as a scion.
Your progenitor affects which spells you can learn as a scion. Your progenitor grants features when you first inherit it at 1st level, then grants more features at 2nd, 3rd, 6th, 8th, 11th, 15th, and 20th levels. See Scion#Dragon for an integrated list that combines Dragon features with those of the base scion class.
Undead Affinity
As a Dragon scion, you have an affinity for undead creatures, and you have an extrasensory understanding of them. This affinity is not necessarily benevolent nor malevolent. Your affinity affects several of your class features you gain at later levels, including Intuition.
Dragon Proficiencies
Your progenitor's power instills your mind and body with supernatural talents that feel natural, granting you several proficiencies.
You gain proficiency with medium armor.
You gain proficiency in one skill from Animal Handling, Arcana, Athletics, and Intimidation.
You can read, write, and speak the Lizal language. If you already knew this language, you instead learn another language of your choice.
When you hit with an unarmed strike, you can deal damage bludgeoning equal to 1d4 + your Strength modifier. If both hands are free, the 1d4 is instead a 1d6.
When casting any cantrip, you may use Strength in place of your normal spellcasting ability.
[Altered Senses]
At 2nd level, your eyes take on a bold glow. You gain darkvision out to a range of 60 feet. If you already have darkvision due to race, its radius increases by 60 feet.
You gain proficiency in the Perception skill. If you are already proficient, you instead gain 3 proficiency points (or gain proficiency in any other skill of your choice).
Dragon Rage
Although many dragons can be graceful or even serene, pity those who incur the wrath of a dragon. Starting at 3rd level, you learn to supernaturally bolster your defenses in the throes of battle. Whenever you damage another creature with a powered scion spell (a scion spell of 1st-level or higher), you gain resistance to all damage other than poison and psychic until the end of your next turn.
You can maintain continuous resistance by causing damage every turn with powered scion spells.
[Altered Body]
At 7th level, you learn to transform parts of your body into those of a dragon.
At the start of each of your turns, you can grow claws, fangs, and tail—or any combination thereof—or dismiss them. While at least some of these are grown, the first time on each of your turns you hit with an unarmed strike, you add your scion level to the damage roll.
At the start of each of your turns, you can grow or dismiss a pair of draconic wings. While present these wings grant you a fly speed of 50 feet. If while flying you are knocked prone, have your speed reduced to 0, or are otherwise deprived of the ability to move, you immediately fall.
