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 dragons are the ones most often killed by humans, who consider their scales to be extremely valuable. These golden scales grant them a high level of protection, similar to armor, and they use this to their advantage in battle.

100 carrots is a wanted dragon. Her beautiful shining scales make people want to kill her to obtain them. She went too close to the city and was caught, but she had escaped. She used her brilliant mind and her acting skills to fool everyone. Because she hasn't been seen at the city for a while, rumors spread about her being killed by a mysterious dragon slayer. Some people don't believe this, so they go out in search of her, which is bad. They had slain all her family and she now lives alone in an underground tunnel she had carved with them. She is afraid to befriend a rare breed of dragon, thinking they will be killed for their scales and leave her friendless.
