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.

Gold dragons are the ones most often killed by humans, who consider their scales to be extremely valuable. These golden scales grant them a high level of protection, similar to armor, and they use this to their advantage in battle.

Made of Win struts his way through life, generally making a fool - but a gorgeously shiny fool - of himself everywhere he goes. Although most dragons of Kadoatie's clan love to hate him, he obliviously considers himself the most popular of all dragonkind. Some of his obvious confidence and uproarious laughter rub off on the females of the clan; he maintains a harem of adoring females all eager to hear the latest outrageous story he thinks up. He is utterly unaware a few of their (previous) mates are working up a plan to humiliate him. It does not matter, after all - there are no rules, no down days, and no possible dangers when one is just Made of Win.
