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.

This breed of dragon results from eggs or hatchlings that have been neglected. They are usually rebellious, not obeying their masters, sometimes even attacking them. However, their neglect as a hatchling leaves them crippled, and they are weak compared to other breeds, causing them to stay with their masters for protection.

Thirteen Minute Experiment is a very slow dragon. As an egg it was not known exactly when it was due to die, so the cruel person who owned it dragged out the experiment until its poor egg turned color. As a result of this torture as an egg Thirteen Minute Experiment can only move at a slow pace and must pause frequently to rest its exhausted body. It was so weak, in fact, that it never developed a gender. Thirteen Minute Experiment stays close to Beloved Neglected in the hope that together they can defend themselves from stronger dragons.
