Messy...

And, strongly unadvisable...

One interesting variety of half-dragon that I encountered in some
artwork was the half-dragon/half-giant.  A Frost Giant/White
Dragon, or a Fire Giant/Red Dragon cross is pretty obvious,
followed by the Cloud or Storm Giant/Blue Dragon, and maybe a
Titan/Gold Dragon.  Not sure about a Stone Giant/Black Dragon...

Does suggest a being who can probably fly with wings while in
very large humanoid form...

And maybe use a breath weapon while in humanoid form...

Lots of large-scale work for adventurous tailors! [grin]

I encountered an amusing speculation about how a really thorough
Cure Disease miracle was found by the God of Healing to have an
unexpected side effect, which really upset the God of Fertulity!
