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.

Pink dragons are primarily herbivores and only eat meat during the mating season, when mates will exchange kills. When it is not breeding season, pink dragons spend most of their time incubating eggs and caring for their clan’s young. Due to their feminine color, it was traditionally thought that pink dragons were a strictly female breed, but this is not true.

Only three words can describe Taffy perfectly: arrogant, stubborn, and vain. She may have a nice-sounding name, but don't let that fool you. Every clan has a "bad egg", and Taffy's the worst. She spends a great amount of time preening her scales and throws a fit if she finds just one speck of dirt in them. She looks down upon other dragons, thinking that none can be as gorgeous as she can, but Taffy wisely holds her tongue around her superiors. Taffy does, however, have a soft spot for hatchlings, unless they are incredibly ugly, stupid, or of a different species than a dragon.
