He's not the only one.  

I don't see any reason why a Newtling could not have heroquested to gain draconic kinship. I'm not convinced that it is necesserily so, but it seems very plausible. Have another look at the Rainbow Mounds scenario in Apple Lane for some interesting newtling/ dragonewt tidbits.
