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.

Terrae dragons are primarily herbivores who prefer to eat from the tops of trees. However, due to their massive size, they must rely on small, specialized scales to absorb and convert energy from the sun. Since they live in tightly-knit groups, this form of energy absorption helps preserve the forests in which these dragons reside.

Tall leafy trees tower overhead and beams of light slice trough the leaves. Grimey Root Toes looks up from her nap. She yawns and gives a cat-like stretch. She pushes up on to her hind legs and takes a few bites from a tall tree then goes to check on her eggs, hatchlings, and children. Grimey Root Toes spies a crack on one of the eggs. Giving a delighted little grunt she curls up next to the egg to warm it while she takes another nap.
