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.

Bright pink dragons are one of the few all-female breeds of dragons. Their bright colors make them easy to spot during dragon mating season. They are primarily herbivores, but eat meat during mating season when it is brought to them by a mate. Mating seasons occur once every 200 years and can last up to 2 years.

Athaila is interested in one thing only, herself. She spends hours everyday making sure she looks as good as possible. When she isn't doing that, she is often pestering the other males, oftentimes just getting in the way of important tasks.  Edena has been persuade Osseric that she shouldn't be allowed to stay as she doesn't do anything for the Moonsong Clan.  Osseric refuses to allow her to be exiled, feeling sorry for her as she refuses to believe that her behavior actually makes her unattractive to the males.
