Cheese Dragons are not actually alive. They are enchanted items of food that act almost identically to dragons. They have no need to eat, but they must “live” in humid environments or they will dry out and harden.

"Born from the unholy combination of cheese, mold, bacteria, and a touch of magic, Gorgonzilla is the monster of all blue cheeses. With a bite as sharp as the sharpest cheddar and a stench that will leave one breathless, Gorgonzilla is a sight (and smell) to be feared."

Despite this description passed on from one cheese maker to the next, Gorgonzilla really isn't any different than any other Cheese Dragon (disregarding the type of cheese). All it wants to know is its place in this tough, cheese-devouring world. One day, Gorgonzilla hopes to find a wizard to turn it into a real living dragon. That or back into the smelly block of cheese from whence it came. Untill then Gorgonzilla wanders the earth looking for a cheesy place to call it's own.
