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.

Cubic Zirconia is a type of fake diamond. Cubic Z the dragon takes offense at being named after this, but it describes him well. A beautiful and vain dragon, Cubic spends each morning grooming his every scale, every leaf, making sure not a petal of a single flower is out of place. As the sun gets hot, Cubic tends to burrow underground, where the moist, cool environment is better for his skin. During the day, any passersby will see nothing more than a harmless bush, complete with delicate vines and lush crimson flowers. What they don't know is that, lurking underground, Cubic can feel their every footstep through subtle vibrations in the earth. He can judge with high accuracy how close someone is standing, and after many years of practice, he now knows exactly when to pounce.
