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.

Stone dragons have a tough outer covering made of a stone-like material. They eat rocks, using the minerals they contain for nourishment and to keep up their stone outer shell. They rarely move, and are the heaviest of all types of dragons. Although they have wings, indicating flight ability, no one has ever seen a stone dragon flying.

Name pronunciation: Lih-thEE-AH-nay

Lithiane was first found in Vegemighty's garden, and until he blinked, most of the dragons thought he was a statue. He'd been standing there so long that moss had grown over his scales and made it hard for him to move.

Lithiane has a very strange, unswerving obedience. He follows the spirit and letter of any order he is given, seemingly COMPELLED by some unknown force to do so. If one of the dragons told him to walk into the ocean and sink, he would do so immediately and without a single protest.
