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.

Black dragons are warriors. They are strong and capable in battles of force, but also ample magic users, capable of devastating opponents with their spells. Their bright eyes give them excellent night vision, which is why they generally hunt during the night.

Striking Method is the one true mate of strykingmethod.  It can be difficult in the cave at times but fate wanted no doubt that they were meant for each other.  She is widely knowledgeable about magics and is the most feared in the cave.  She will only listen to two others, her true mate and her scroll holder.  She is particularly fascinated with the dino threesome.  She is no longer allowed to be alone with them due to the fact that she is convinced they are a food fit for her mate.  All others including her mate believe this would be too close to cannibalism.
