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.

White dragons are pacifists and specialize in extremely strong healing magic. The only limit of this magic is that it can't bring back the dead. They only eat plants and never kill living things.

Galvin was the second dragon found by HaleyMo. He stays closest to the cottage acting as a nurse for those who have injured themselves. Galvin is also very pleased that HaleyMo has set aside for him his own garden full of all his favorite plants. He would never ask for anything more than to be with his family, making his duty to keep them healthy with a garden of his own a wonderful blessing he would never give up.
