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.

Querynd is, quite unfortunately, a lover and a fighter in one. He is fervently driven in battles to gain the attention or trust of the ones he wishes to keep close, often ending up in situations that tend to spiral out of his control. Thankfully the others in his brood take the time to care for their wayward brother, keeping him a tad more focused than not - if only for a while. Because of this care, he is truest to his family, prepared to protect them to his very last drawn breath. This makes him both extremely dangerous and reckless, even against great odds; a fighter standing between death and the ones he loves.
