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.

Black dragons are warriors. They are strong and capable in battles of force, but also ample magic users, capable of devastating opponents with their spells. Their bright eyes give them excellent night vision, which is why they generally hunt during the night.

Dark Storm has a reputation for being a dark storm of anger hence her name. No one can get too close to her because of her little temper smaller than anything. Since early childhood no one ever paid much attention to Dark Storm because of the disease and probably because she was not a very pretty creature either. If her family paid more attention to her she might have had been pretty when she was little but no. They didn't. Now a full grown dragon stands before you with the look of a great leader in her eyes. She is a leader because of her power of people or dragon speaking. That power keeps her little group from being killed and their territory claimed by stronger clans.
