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.

White dragons are pacifists and specialize in extremely strong healing magic. The only limit of this magic is that it can't bring back the dead. They only eat plants and never kill living things.

Adopted by a wandering warrior of strong religious convictions, Alberophante behaves as if a member of the clerical office. His growl is deep and resounding, as if inside a large, enclosed building; some would mention his growl resembles the preaches of a bishop upon a cathedral. As befitting from his dragon clan, he commands mighty healing magic, a talent which he eagerly uses upon those who need it the most. The rare occasions in which he speaks to humans, he seeks to delve upon discussions of spiritual relevance, moral debate and guidance, hoping his knowledge leads to his own enlightenment and to aid in the spiritual journeys of others.

The priestly nature of Alberophante is a result of the strong example shown by a cleric companion of his adopter, which inspired the young dragon to follow a similar path. He is unsure of whether truly a god of dragons exist, but if it does, he would desire to serve upon such deity with the same fervor a true cleric serves his deity.
