Currently I can only think of two for sure. The first being the Dragon Disciple. The second being the illithid exteaction line/flayerspawn psychic.

Maybe dragonwrought kobold counts, but that feels too simple, and I'm leaning more towards no. However Dragon Wings/Breath/other things that emulate being a dragon feels pretty good.

How many am I missing?
Disregard totemist.
Do you want to start off with a monster PC? Although they're typically underpowered for their LA, you can totally do it.

This is a good starting handbook: https://forums.giantitp.com/showthre...nster-Handbook
