Only in D&D could this be possible

I noticed in another thread people discussing some of the things that they came up with for D&D. What are some of the most off-the-wall things ya'll have created/run across in said game?

For example I once created a NPC paladin who was half dragon.....literally. From his head to his torso was human and from that down was a silver dragon (kinda like a centaur) so he was his own mount! The efficiency of that was downsided though by the fact that he couldn't fit in most buildings, had a problem getting suitable armor for himself, not too mention the fact that he just all around freaked out the local populace.

That's...odd. You must have had a talented DM to make that work in game.

He didn't really do much to tell the truth. His backstory was that he was a special guard for a high ranking church official that had managed to piss off the wrong bad guys in his earlier days. For the most part he was scenery, but the one time he did get involved in a fight (one of the last ones of the campaign if I remember) he utterly decimated everything.

What's funny is that they have rules for PCs like that now, specifically in the Savage Species book, under Tauric creature templates.

Yeah, when I made the character (I was the DM btw :P ) I had gotten the idea from one of the pre made missions that you can get from the Wizards of the Coast website. There was an enemy in the mission that was part giant part white dragon. I thought it was a neat idea and ran with it.
