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.

Daydream dragons are the hosts of daydreams and fantasies. They spend the majority of their time sitting on clouds, dropping daydreams down into the minds of people passing by. Humans who live near daydream dragons must be especially careful not to let their thoughts wander, or they could end up spending hours or even days in a trance-like waking dream state.

Kuyume is an enchantress, a faery and a very dangerous creature. She beguiles everyone. She floats and dreams and sings softly and hums to herself. She is beautiful and seemingly breakable. But look into her eyes and you will see a very different story. Not evil, no, never that, but dangerous. She deals in sweet narcosis and blurred imaginings. She deals in dreams and those about whom she weaves her spells forget that there is a reality. They forget to feed, to sleep, even to breathe. They simply exist, wide-eyed with wonder, small smiles playing across their features, and forget everything. Kuyume is an enchantress, a faery and a very dangerous creature.
