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.

When Water dragons mature, they lose the ability to survive on land, entering the water permanently. They are adept swimmers and eat whatever fish are in the lake they live in. They tend to inhabit the same lake for their entire lives, although a few live in the ocean and swim all over the world.

Pakku is the black sheep out of all the other dragons. She lives in a lake very close to the cave and travels through the rivers that connect to other lakes and the ocean. Shes constantly leaving her home and is gone for months at a time. She has a sarcastic personality with a quick temper and sour attitude. She takes pleasure in the fact that ShadowEyes and IronDagger fear water. Whenever Izura comes into the picture, Pakku is quick to retreat and go back to her watery home. Pakku does not feel obligated to her cave family or hatchlings, not even her own. She is concerned only with herself and leaves others to deal with their own problems.
