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.

Iwaizake greatly enjoys spreading holiday cheer in December. She likes to make wreaths for all of the people in the village down the hill. She will make them and decorate them with a wonderful shining silver tinsel and hang them on the doors of everyone of the houses in the village. People love seeing the beautiful wreaths on every door and love to see Iwaizake wandering through the village with a smile on her face (or at leas as much of a smile that a dragon can give) spreading a warmth throughout the village that no fire can achieve.

Her name means holiday cheer.
