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.

Two headed dragons are a special breed of dragons. They have two necks, two brains, two mouths, but one stomach and one main body. The two heads usually work together, but there are times when they will fight each other, attacking back and forth. They use their sharp teeth and wings to hunt large animals, and rarely eat plants. It is unknown what would happen if a two headed dragon were to mate with a one headed dragon, since it has never occurred. They only mate within their breed.

Lara and Lucy could be called the girly-girls of the draconic world. Silly, light-hearted, giggling and seemingly frivilous beings, their gentle humour hides witty intelligence and a caring heart. Lara loves riddles, and will often spend hours or even days inventing new ones to stump her friends, though they've yet to stump her in return. Lucy is more maternal, happiest when she's got a hatchling or five to tend, and she cares little what breed they are. She makes up fantastical stories, and can keep the young ones entranced for hours.

While usually the greatests of friends, these two can bicker like wet cats over the most trivial things, and it's only their stolid and patient lifemates, Darin and Thalis, who can bring peace between them again.
