ORIGIN : Draconians were made from the stolen eggs of good (metal) dragons by priests of Takhisis and black-robed mages. (and they were helped by an ancient red dragon called Harkiel the Bender) One egg become maybe appromaxily ten draconians.
There are five draconian races, or one draconian race for one metal-dragon race. Auraks have come from gold-dragon eggs, and Sivaks from silver-eggs (Sivaks are shape-changers, just like silver dragons) Bozaks,Baazes and Kapak draconians are from bronze,brass and copper eggs. In fight draconians are troublesome opponents, more brave than goblins or orcs, wearing better armor and using better weapons. They can also harm their killers after their death, because every one does something nasty on his dying moment, like explodes or changes to look just same as his killer. Looks like Baaz-draconians are the most numerous group, but dumbest also.Auraks are high-class assassins or mages. But, in the Test of the Twins one draconian mage is called Bozak. I think that Bozaks and Auraks are magic-users,Baazes have no magic and Sivaks have only their shape-changing magic. Kapak remains as mystery. And now,some words on draconian magic. Magic-using draconians (Bozaks/Auraks) get their magic from the Dark Queen, by falling into trance and using ancient words to ask spells and blessing. Draconian-magic is a gift from Takhisis.

Races:

Baaz
- First to be created
- Most numerous
- Not very bright
- Smaller in size than others but strong
- Have wings, but cannot fly
- They look vaguely human, so are used as spies
Bozak
- Secondary numerous.
- Often draconian-troop commanders or mages.
- Can use magic.
Sivak
- Created from good dragon eggs on second, just after Baazes
- Maybe numbered like Bozaks.
- Soldiers. Sometimes sub-commanders.
- Largest and most powerful.
- Big wings, can fly.
- When slain, turn to look like their killer and explode after three days.
- Can shapechange at will
Aurak
- Least numerous.
- Very high-ranked assassins,good mages and maybe high commanders.
- Have a very high opinion on themselves.
- Other draconians do not like them very much.
- No wings.Cannot fly.
- Extremedly intelligent
- Very good magical ability (can be compared to that of a dragon)
Kapak
- Not very brave
- Weapons poisoned, good hand-to-hand fighters
- Even more stupid than Baaz but good in listening orders
- They do not look even 'vaguely' human
- Refuse to wear clothes
- Have strange hank of mane hunging from their jaws
- Large wings, fair gliders
- Easy to command even by humans

My thanks to Kathy Brown, who gave me basic information about Kapaks.

There is some draconians you may know:

Bozak
Bozak-draconian mage,commander of the Flying Fortress during the Battle of Palanthas (Test of the Twins).Killed by Caramon Majere. Name was probably just a epithet.

Slith
Sivak,Kang's sub-commander.Powerful and intelligent,perfect sub-commander.
