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.

Red dragons are similar to typical story book dragons. They shoot flames, can fly, etc. However, they aren't evil creatures as depicted in myths and won't go around raiding castles, killing knights, or kidnapping princesses. They live in a variety of habitats, from forests to coastlines to abandoned castles, usually in warm climates, and eat whatever living creatures they can find.

Hutabhujantarakshas is one of the three mighty Founders of the Oblivion Dragon-Tribe. Abandoned as an egg, she hatched with only the Skywing Djeva for company and help caring for the egg of Daz, a Stone dragon. Insulted by Djevas cheerfulness and impatient with Dazs stillness, she became at once bitter and proud. Almost never taking wing, she prefers to rush across the ground at great speed, blazing with incredible heat. The villages nearest the tribes valley know Bhuj as the vast dark shape and glowing red eyes that appear within any raging inferno, and she takes her name from the words they shout in terror: Demon Inside the Fire! She arrogantly shuns her kin and even her noble mate Sephiros most of the time, but she is ferociously protective of her tribes territory. The passion with which Bhuj dispatches any creature that approaches their borders or young might betray what remains of the brave hatchling that warmed her tiny companions through the coldest of nights so long ago.
