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.
Pink dragons are primarily herbivores and only eat meat during the mating season, when mates will exchange kills. When it is not breeding season, pink dragons spend most of their time incubating eggs and caring for their clan's young. Due to their feminine color, it was traditionally thought that pink dragons were a strictly female breed, but this is not true.
Lynnette is... temperamental, to say the least. Shes also somewhat neurotic and very, very loud. Not only that, but her roar is the shrillest in the caves, and tends to be inflicted upon every eardrum up to a mile away during the near-hourly instances when her nest-mate, the Whiptail Cord, finds herself with enough free time to use her species famed appendage to lash the pinks nose. Despiteor perhaps because ofthat, the two are practically inseparable, although trying to get them to admit it will be taken for nothing other than a request for an EXTREMELY painful mauling.
