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.

Medusa wasn't this dragons first given name.  She has a little sister who would tease her about her nasty disposition and bad temperament.  It also didn't help that little Sabrina was cute as a button, while she was just merely plain.  So she took it upon herself to adopt the name of Medusa and hold herself up high whenever someone teased her about it.

She's a nasty dragon and doesn't get along well with many others.  She's particularly jealous of and spiteful towards Miribeth-Rose who took on the mate Vesta Fireborn. She had had her eyes on him for a long time.  It still irks her to no degree that he turned her down.  She isn't the kind that gets her feelings hurt and cries about it elsewhere, she's the type that seethes and simmers her anger until its warm and ripe.  Then she lashes out wherever she may.
