Cheese Dragons are not actually alive. They are enchanted items of food that act almost identically to dragons. They have no need to eat, but they must “live” in humid environments or they will dry out and harden.

One afternoon Gretta the goat lay under a tree peacefully resting. However this was cut short when she was suddenly hit by a stray magic spell cast by her master Claudus, a mad wizard known for his crazy experiments. Claudus, not realizing he used magic on Gretta, grew worried when she became increasingly ill and bloated. For days on end Claudus searched for a cure to poor Gretta's ailment to no avail. Then one day he finally came upon a breakthrough: an enchanted turnip which could turn the immune system into a sentient entity capable of eliminating any and all diseases in the body. However Claudus never got a chance to use such a magnificent turnip for when he came upon Gretta she was seemingly cured with the only adverse affect being a strange, slightly smelly creature clutching to her. Thus the creature made of cheese, which Claudus easily accepted as the offspring of Gretta the goat, became known as Goat the Cheese while the magic turnip was forgotten in the annals of time.
