It only means "needlessly cruel" or similiar. It comes from the name "Draco" a famous Greek dude.

Draconian = "excessively strict and harsh" Verdekal posted... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draco_(lawgiver) Guys, I'm well aware what it actually means. That's why I defined it in the OP. I just want to know if it can also be used to refer to dragon-like things. Thanks to Tyranthraxus for giving me the actual word, though. --- "If the heroes run and hide, who'll stay and fight?" ~Saitama ... Copied to Clipboard!

They're a race in the Dragonlance series of novels (and thus any D&D campaign that includes Krynn and its races), as well as an alien race in Doctor Who.
Having read the novels as a kid, my mind always jumps to those first whenever I see the word. --- "If history is to change, let it change! If the world is to be destroyed, so be it! If my fate is to be destroyed...I must simply laugh!!."- Magus ... Copied to Clipboard!
