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.

White dragons are pacifists and specialize in extremely strong healing magic. The only limit of this magic is that it can't bring back the dead. They only eat plants and never kill living things.

Linnl is a dragon who tends to be a bit airheaded. He is always staring off in some other direction, lost in thought. He loves the look on someone's face after he heals them, helping someone always makes his day. As a result he has a strange habit of perking his head up eagerly whenever he hears about some nasty injury. The only thing besides healing that makes him focus is Tyraa, the beautiful skywing he is very fond of. Sadly, Tyraa is even more of an airhead than Linnl is, and is completely oblivious to his crush on her.
