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.

When Water dragons mature, they lose the ability to survive on land, entering the water permanently. They are adept swimmers and eat whatever fish are in the lake they live in. They tend to inhabit the same lake for their entire lives, although a few live in the ocean and swim all over the world.

A mysterious dragon is Bushkill,for a rather large water dragon he prefers to stay near more shallow areas then other dragons of his size. It is not odd to find this beast around coastlines where even a human can wade in the waters,he can also be found traveling up bodies of water as deep as the Amazon or as shallow as a creek,even his name Bushkill comes from a creek which seems to be a favorite spot of his.

Why a creature of his size stays near shallow water or how he manages to get into waters as small as a creek or a stream are unknown.
