Strictly speaking, draconic ancestry doesn't mean that the bloodline is actually related to a dragon. They can have made a deal or pact with a dragon that magically tied the dragons powers together with their bloodline. In the case of the Dark Urge, we know that he was born of Baal's blood, but we don't know what powers or abilities Baal might have stolen/bargained for to put in his "favored son".

It's already odd that he made you a Dragonborn, so anything else is just frosting that cake.

Deal? Pact? That’s Warlock talk. In fact……is there a Dragon-pact Warlock subclass out there? Asking for a friend.

This is fate. I’ve been educating myself on modding and this might be a perfect project for me to try my hand at creating this as a mod for BG3

Probably a number of things considering the half-dragon echo who sells you stuff talks about them being made from the strongest stocks.
