As an Augmented Humanoid subtype you would be able to take either template. Dracolich because you are a dragon and lich because you still have the humanoid subtype.

I don't think the augmented humanoid subtype qualifies you for the regular lich template; only having the humanoid type does so. Unless there's been some errata along the way (regarding the augmented subtype, in this case), a subtype doesn't qualify you for something that wants a normal creature type.

I can easily see a DM allowing a half-dragon humanoid to take the lich template, but the exact wording of the rules excludes it.

Humanoid is a type that you no longer have (you are now a dragon). But who cares. Becoming a regular lich is faster and easier, so do it anyway. Or you could become a dracolich, though technically it's for True Dragons (Reds, Blues, ect) and not just any creature of the Dragon type (so no Wyverns or Dragon Turtles). But if you're the DM, use whichever one makes more sense.

Now there's an unnerving sight. The PCs swim for the pitted and desolate island after their boat sinks, only to see the island move, raise up, and a tremendous skeletal head lifts from the water . . . mwahahahahaha! :bigeyes: :surrender
