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.

When water dragons mature, they lose their legs and the ability to survive on land, entering the water permanently. They are adept swimmers and eat whatever fish are in the lake they live in. They tend to inhabit the same lake for their entire lives, although a few live in the ocean and swim all over the world.

Blessed Aqua, nicknamed Aqua, is an Explorer of the Sea in kiten234's clan.

Aqua loves to swim, but only in the shallow water near the coast. This is because she is afraid of sharks. When she was still a hatchling, she wandered away from Laken and was almost eaten by a Great White! Luckily, Laken noticed she was missing and found her in the nick of time. She owes her life to him and treats him with great respect. However, because of her fear, she is more like an Explorer of the Coast, rather than the sea...
