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.

Gold-horned Tangars are a brightly colored tropical breed. They are primarily herbivores, and eat a wide variety of fruits and flowers in addition to the occasional bird. Tangars are well suited to life in the trees; their slender bodies make them light enough to be supported by thinner branches and agile enough to avoid obstacles while flying. Their brightly colored horns, found in both males and females, are used to attract mates.

This dragon finds living in her native jungle a bit awkward.  She likes the environment well enough except for hanging vines.  Somehow she keeps snagging them on her wings, her tail, her horns... It seems as though vines within fifty feet of her like to reach out for her.

Giving up on removing all of the vines, Tanglard just lets them trail off of her.  This provides her some camoflage over her bright colors.  Unfortunately, this does not help with her hunting enough to compensate for the drag slowing her down, so she rarely gets to eat meat.
