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.

Dark green dragons, once they mature, appear to become an entirely different species. However, this isn't true. Rather, they burrow underground and get nutrients from their vines. These vines are sometimes referred to as Dragon Grass. These dragons are very violent, and will use their vines to capture, kill, and eat anything that moves, as well as nearby plants. Luckily, their range is limited and they cannot use magic. Dark green dragons tend to be easy to spot since they usually kill all plants around them and thus are usually surrounded by a large clearing.

Marnabo was a very strange dragon he would not move a muscle so his previous owner left him to die. On vacation Nehane had found him on the land next to the Nile River, where she had found Armana. She was guessing that this was the doing of those same poachers. When she saw that the dragon would not move she tried bating him with food. Reluctantly he followed snapping at the food he sought after. When she got him home he ran next to Staturon and stood as still as he did. Staturon had cared for this dragon when he had disappeared for a few days. The little hatchling considered him to be his father. He did everything Staturon did. He walked like him, ate like him, growled like him, loved Gaurdinya, and stood perfectly still like him...
