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.
Skywing dragons spend most of their lives flying in the air. They hunt from the air, diving at prey from above, and land only to rest. They are some of the fastest fliers, capable of extremely high speeds. The webbing at the end of the tail acts as a rudder, allowing them to easily change direction during flight.
Furai is a surprisingly peaceful dragon. Rather then fighting he simply flies in very complex and flashy patterns leaving his opponents stunned and confused. However, harming anyone of Furai's adopted brothers or sisters brings out the worst in this dragon. His passive behaviour vanishes as he coils himself around the offender, striking for their heads. Furai strictly refuses to kill, so he chooses to injure the opponents head in a non-fatal fashion leaving the killing to one of the more violent dragons.
