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.

Magi dragons are, as their name suggests, primarily magic users. They rarely use physical forms of attack. They eat anything they can kill, which is almost everything. They won't kill unprovoked except when hunting, although they may kill humans if in danger. Their strong magic makes them one of the most feared breeds of dragons.

'Culdanola' means 'fiery wisdom', though the human, Erumelmo, who calls her family, will be the first to agree that she was not always wise and the fire within her eyes came later in life. When she gained maturity, she realised that she was beautiful, dappled orange that gleamed in the sun, making her just as radiant! So she grew proud and pride doesn't sit well with wisdom. It was only when she lost someone very dear to her because of her own vanity, she gained this wisdom. But after that loss, she was completely astute, totally logical and never gave way to emotion. Perhaps this meant she was not truly wise, but wise enough: for she knew nearly every spell in the land and created more of her own volition. She was one of the greatest spell-casters, and thus one of the most feared.
