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.

True to his nature as a black dragon, Incul-vario, is an excellent warrior. He can always be counted on in a fracas; however, as an alt, he dislikes the physical side of a battle, and prefers to use his magic to do his fighting. In his mind, in his particular region, there are none who surpass his magical abilities. Except perhaps, the healers; he believes their magic to be even more powerful than the Magi. Although he has an extremely healthy ego, Incul-vario usually keeps it in check and gets along well with the other dragons.
