Perhaps it is insecurity, perhaps it is understandable concern, either way, the mixed nature of my being has always struck a special nerve I could never truly pin down. Hybrids are already a rarity as it is, given the natural hurdles between intra-race relations and ESPECIALLY the conflicts between inter-race interactions. Even with the odds of such a pairing happening at all, two different kinds of metallics or chromatics getting together only have a 26.25% chance of baring a live egg of any kind, down to 4.375% between chromatic and metallic. Most of those hybrids will look exactly like one of the two parents or be albino, with smaller odds of being stronger or weaker, bigger or smaller than their parents. They'll pass for a dragon of their looks and live a normal life. Then there are those like me, the true hybrids, unpredictable features and abilities, the absolute luck of the draw as to how advantageous or ruinous it is for them; a mere 2.25% chance for two different metallics or chromatics. And at the lowest of lows, the most improbably of odds, myself as a true metallic chromatic hybrid, only had a minuscule 0.375% chance of coming into being. I do not know if that makes me lucky or cursed, but I am here now and must make the most of it.
Look at me, rambling on in such a way once more in such a downtrodden way. Thankfully, this kobold has a much more holistic, grounded, and amusingly simple view of such a thing. I do not know if I am harder on myself than others are for the fact of my hatching, but now that I've beaten the odds and lived to the point that I can handle myself confidently and securely, perhaps I should start proudly embracing what I am, and the first step may be bringing kobolds under my watch. I don't know if I'll ever get past the accent of their yipyak language, it's so close to draconic but less refined. I think however, I'll learn to make due...
A lovely comic spread done by the wonderful vera-panthera. I debated on actually posting this but with some reflection decided to push forward. At the very least I hope it can be someone enjoyed by others in some way!

Hard to explain, just felt internally weird! Didn't stop me in the end though.
Rally curious. Not sure about the % chances, but being a hybrid of two dragon bloodlines can complicate having offspring to the point of not having it at all.
Being the absolute dragon nerd I am for the stuff I ran the numbers from the old hybrid dragon roll table. The odds are simply wild, and what can come from it even moreso. It's ironic that dragons can have offspring so easily with everything... except each other
Dragon nerd? Guess, Lizard need to boop such interesting person time to time... possibilities of learning something new about dragons are endless, but possibly perilous.
The kobold is right, you know. You are a dragon either way, but most importantly, you are yourself - in your case, I daresay it's a great advantage that trumps many shortcomings. Besides, I have a poor memory for distinguishing features, but at least I'd easily recognize such a charming hybrid lad anywhere. ^^
There is a small chance for hybrids to be fertile, so I wouldn't count yourself short without actual proof. Plus there's probably magic to help with that anyway.
Acceptance and love of your own self is the first way for making surrounding world better
Of course it shall not be that strong to the point of narcissism but indeed without a bit of self love it is impossible to improve yourself and concentrate on positives of your personality and finally share this love with others
And if I would ever meet this gorgeous fella, for sure I would told him how magnificent he is for real. His scales almost sparkle like stars or dancing snowflakes in a morning light. Astounding creature
We don't wear the legacy of blood but sometimes even create our own. No matter the origin we choose our own path
So I don't think he has a lot of to be worried about

Glad you did post this in the end, it's a wonderful comic!
No matter how mixed you might be, I'd say you're still quite the pretty dragon.
