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.

Protector of the hatchling and eggs, Blancfyre is very peaceful and gets along quite well with the other dragons of the cave. She spends most of her time watching the hatchlings play and healing any wounds should their play-fights get out of hand. The dragon eggs, needing warmth, are usually close to her and the other more peaceful dragons of the cave so that the babies inside can grow safely.
