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.

Skywing dragons spend most of their lives flying in the air. They hunt from the air, diving at prey from above, and land only to rest. They are some of the fastest fliers, capable of extremely high speeds. The webbing at the end of the tail acts as a rudder, allowing them to easily change direction during flight.

Juggling Geese, known as J.G., is quite an acrobat. He loves to spend his time flying carelessly through the air, doing somersaults and dives and many other tricks, but also engages in other, more unusual activities. He's named after his tendency to engage in one of these activities- juggling. As a hatchling, he often hunted down baby geese and other small birds to toss up into the air; now, though birds will avoid him entirely, he keeps up his tricks by juggling those few mint dragons who are willing.
