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.

Bronze Laurel has a keen eye for detail.  So much so, she has self-appointed herself as the chief co-director of celebrations, a position she shares with her closest compatriots, Platinum Laurel and Gold Laurel.  Whenever a holiday comes to the island home of Shield Tail and Dark Drakon's dragon herd, no matter if it's Halloween, Christmas or St. Valentine's Day, these three dragons go out of their way to ensure that the island is properly decorated to reflect the holiday that is being celebrated, making sure to pull out all the stops.  Bronze Laurel's specialty is arranging each decoration in the perfect place to ensure optimal festivity.
