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.

Stone dragons have a tough outer covering made of a stone-like material. They eat rocks, using the minerals they contain for nourishment and to keep up their stone outer shell. They rarely move, and are the heaviest of all types of dragons. Although they have wings, indicating flight ability, no one has ever seen a stone dragon flying.

Dissintegrate, as an egg, had accidentily rolled out of her own nest as she hatched. When she did hatch, she was found by a young human who was out on a hike.Taking the little hatchling home, the human raised her, teaching her to speak. When the hatchling came upon an interesting word, she chose it as her name; Dissintegrate. Many years later, when the human child was a young man, she was found by the human's parents; she ran away, and never returned. Now, Dissy rarely speaks nor moves; when she does move, that is only when her quarry is depleted of minerals. Otherwise, she is a nomadic dragoness.
