In Greek myth, planting dragon teeth like seeds caused warriors (the spartoí) to spring from the ground. In our version of Pathfinder, it isn't quite that simple, but a secret ritual does exist that will spawn dragon-like humanoids by sowing dragon teeth. In our Dissolution campaign, these "dragon-tooth men", the dvontoi, are implemented as a collection of monstrous races, each based on the color of dragon whose teeth were planted. These creatures advance using class levels, but their size or some racial abilities may scale as hit dice increase. The dvontoi are constructed using loose interpretation of Pathfinder's race creation system, using 25 RP.
