More points for the D&D entry:
** Members of the [[InherentGift Sorcerer]] class are usually said to receive their powers from draconic blood, though a number of other supernatural ancestors are also possible. The Dragon Disciple PrestigeClass allows a Sorcerer to tap deeper into their bloodline to gradually transform themselves into a Half-Dragon.
** 3rd Edition D&D eventually added a whole creature subtype for beings descended from dragons - the dragonblooded - with access to unique dragon-themed feats and {{Prestige Class}}es (including wings and {{Breath Weapon}}s). While Sorcerers are ''not'' automatically dragonblooded, they can trade away some of their normal abilities in order to count as such.
** Kobolds from 3rd edition onwards are depicted as tiny reptilian servants of dragons, with a tendency to become Sorcerers. Occasionally their draconic blood manifests particularly true in the form of a Dragonwrought Kobold, whose scales shine in the colour of their ancestor. While no inherently stronger than a normal Kobold, they are usually [[CharacterLevel higher level]] and more likely to possess dragon-themed abilities. In addition they are biologically closer to Dragons than Humanoids, making them immune to certain spells and preventing their bodies from weakening as they age (the latter of which makes them [[MinMaxersDelight extremely popular among spellcaster players]], since old age provides bonuses to spellcasting-related stats that are normally AwesomeButImpractical).

And for the first set of Fire Emblem games:
* ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAkaneia'': Dragon Blood is synonymous with RoyalBlood, with [[http://fireemblemwiki.org/wiki/Holy_Blood the twelve main noble bloodlines]] of the setting being descended from a group of heroes who were each infused with the blood of a different dragon. Those in whom the blood flows strong bear a distinctive Brand on their bodies, and are capable of wielding the holy weapons that contain some of that dragon's power.
