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.
Bright pink dragons are one of the few all-female breeds of dragons. Their bright colors make them easy to spot during dragon mating season. They are primarily herbivores, but eat meat during mating season when it is brought to them by a mate. Mating seasons occur once every 200 years and can last up to 2 years.
A forgetful mother and enviable flier, Con has been told many times she should have been born a male. If left to her own devices, she would long have defied the restrictions on her breed and hunted with the males. As it is, this wild, rambunctious tomboy is forced to stay home and take care of the clan's hatchlings. Her confinement makes her increasingly snappy with each egg she watches over. It certainly does not help that Con's mates are usually too annoyed this female can fly better than they can to bring Con good food.
