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.

Dark green dragons, once they mature, appear to become an entirely different species. However, this isn't true. Rather, they burrow underground and get nutrients from their vines. These vines are sometimes referred to as Dragon Grass. These dragons are very violent, and will use their vines to capture, kill, and eat anything that moves, as well as nearby plants. Luckily, their range is limited and they cannot use magic. Dark green dragons tend to be easy to spot since they usually kill all plants around them and thus are usually surrounded by a large clearing.

Aberthol has every reason to dislike her scroll owner. She was picked up as an egg to be used as a sacrifice to turn into an undead dragon (Even her name means sacrifice). She managed to avoid every single attack her "owner" threw at her, and there were many. She survived because her owner finally realized that it was a futile attempt anyways as the spell no longer worked. Despite all this she is not bitter but is more amused by the fact that her "owner" could not kill her.

She is slightly insane though and refuses to take anything seriously, including life itself. Many do not realize this and chalk her attitude up to a good outlook on life. Those who stay around her for a length of time though realize that there is something off about her. It may be the fact that nothing seems to unsettle her or it may be the fact that her sense of humor seems a bit cruel ... whatever it is, she unsettles anyone who is around her for very long.
