After a bit of discussion, we've decided to have western dragons be animals. Large, magical animals that are extremely dangerous, but animals.Eastern dragons, which are much rarer, are intelligent and magic-users. So if his father was a shapeshifted Eastern dragon it works out fine.

Cool :D yea, there aren't too many stories where the western dragons are intelligent, so that works out well :)
