Dragons are creatures with nearly unlimited life spans. They can survive for long periods of time, and no one has found a dragon that has died of old age. Adolescence is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling’s wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. Once they hit adolescence, hatchlings change quickly, maturing to their full forms in only 2 years.

Dragons don’t communicate with each other verbally, but they will growl to scare off predators and frighten prey. Young dragons will emit an extremely high-pitched squeal when they are frightened. To communicate, they use telepathy with each other and to speak to other creatures.

Bright pink dragons are one of the few all-female breeds of dragons. Their bright colors make them easy to spot during dragon mating season. They are primarily herbivores, but eat meat during mating season when it is brought to them by a mate. Mating seasons occur once every 200 years and can last up to 2 years.

Laluzii lost her mate a few hundred years ago to human hunters. She still bears the scars of that futile battle, both physical and mental. They were forced to retreat when her mate was mortally injured by a stray spear, but she lacked the healing arts to save him, and he died in her paws. Enraged beyond fury, she set out to kill the band of hunters and get her vengeance. Since then, she's retreated to her northern haunts. She makes her home in an abandoned stone castle, and lies there alone, a sentinel undertaking a permanent vigil for her long-lost love.
