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.

Madame Mim is the best friend of Morigania. The two of them are bound by their mutual hatred of Merlinikus but have since learned that they have far more in common than just that. While Mim is the shorter, stockier and all in all less attractive of the two dragonesses, she has a devilish sense of humour and a talent for improvising, often bursting into little non-sense songs. She is the only dragon that ever gets regal Morigania to smile.

Secretly Mim wishes that she could be a bit more like Morigania but she loves her friend far too much to ever get really jealous.
