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.

Gilt Bronze considers himself to be a big patron of the arts.  He enjoys making works of art but he's not very gifted, so what he makes he keeps to himself mostly.  Still, he adores looking at the works of others.  He can admire deftly created paintings or skillfully sculpted sculptures like any other dragon or perhaps, in his case, even more.
