If a dragon race were to be implemented, what would you have them look like? What would their lore be? How about their culture? EQ and EQ2 Sarnak are pretty cool. Lore and culture. Surprise me. Come up with something different and new. Several books I have read recently ,for example have had the Elves be murderous carnivores that make the Drow look tame. Which books? They sound interesting. Do they eat Tulnar?

Depends. They could go the Faerun route (dnd) - Dragonborns that is a blessed bloodline for those worshipping dragons. No flight, but perhaps fire (or other elements) breath and budget gliding? Or the lizard type (example: Divinity Original Sin). No flight, just Dragon/lizardlike people in an appropriate climate. When it comes to Dragon humanoid vs. Dragon(like) with humanoid form, then I'd vote for the first. Because RP-wise, anyone can RP as a dragon in human form (if that is what they want). Giving people an actual race reflecting that would bring up a ton of balance Issues. A flightless Dragonborn race on the other side (like dnd Dragonborn) ... Not that different from regular races. You see, to me, a flightless lizard-character that can use fire just seems like a Tulnar Mage. It's already in-game.
