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.

Magi dragons are, as their name suggests, primarily magic users. They rarely use physical forms of attack. They eat anything they can kill, which is almost everything. They won’t kill unprovoked except when hunting, although they may kill humans if in danger. Their strong magic makes them one of the most feared breeds of dragons.

Saruman of Orange once belonged to an order of magi dragons with the tradition that every full fledged mage had to pick one colour forever associated with them - the colour of their magic. Saruman was the star student of his year and only one colour was suitable for him: orange.

When he and his fellow Gandalf were sent to Delirium's clan to deepen their studies with her, he was not exactly thrilled about it. He is not only arrogant and assumes that no dragon can teach him anything, but also quite a coward and Delirium and her weird ways frighten him deeply.

Since his arrival at the clan he and Gandalf have grown apart and he has come to despise almost all the other dragons in the clan, he grows lonelier by the day and might become a danger to the clan, if this trend isn't stopped in time.
