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.

HolyRidiculousBlackDragonBatman was another political gift to the Queen from the land of Pesha. There are many great and heroic dragons there, and HRBDB is from the strongest bloodline. Her gifts manifested as a great psychic power, so she was given to the temple as a hatchling to be taught their ways. She was a diligent and intelligent acolyte, and she quickly rose within the ranks of the priesthood. She was offered the position of Head Priestess, but turned it down because the rigors of the station would not leave her enough time for meditating and gardening. Instead, she was given a valiant mate in the Black Knight, and was further honored when her eldest was chosen as the Prince's bride.
