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.

Frenzy-Plant has issues in abundance. It's not that she really means to nearly kill her family. She just accidentally got A-chana tangled up in those vines. Really! Frenzy is about as wild as any of the family gets, and gives in to instinct a lot. This is what leads to her attacks on those around her, usually without warning. It takes a lot to control her vines just to keep from attacking the smaller ones. Once one gets past the fact that a greeting from her could end with a need for medical attention, she's actually quite a nice dragon, giving general tips to others. She just wishes she could take her own medicine and show some more self-control.
