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.

Waterhorse dragons received their name due to their horse-like physique and endearing behavior. They are capable of surviving out of water, and when on land their skin secretes a gelatinous goo to retain moisture. However, their large paddle feet are better suited for swimming, and waterhorse dragons tend to move very awkwardly when on land. Waterhorses are very friendly dragons and enjoy playing with humans.

Although she has previously disliked her present mate, the two have been lonely, and thus, mated. This formed a bond between them, and they can predict when the other will be in harm or is in harm. Although, if Guardian of the Slimy Puddle-or more commonly called Slimy Puddle-uses this advantage too many times, she will lose much energy, but her mate does not. This mysterious problem has forced her to become afraid of her skill. Like her mate, she loves nosing in abandoned castles, and playing with moss and slime. It seems to be a sort of 'hobby', as many say. She has once even found a piece of moss about the length of her tail, which has become a personal prize.
