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.

Magi dragons are, as their name suggests, primarily magic users. They rarely use physical forms of attack. They eat anything they can kill, which is almost everything. They won't kill unprovoked except when hunting, although they may kill humans if in danger. Their strong magic makes them one of the most feared breeds of dragons.

Already a powerful dragon in his own right, Melchior the Talismanic was not content with his skills. He longed to be better. That is why Melchoir is an expert on magical runes and signs. Melchoir uses these to enhance the power of his magic. Some of them require him to draw them in the dirt, others he must use his magic to weave. The most extreme ones he etched into his body with his own claws. He got his wish, as his magic is far stronger than it ever was before. A few dragons in the Ruda Clan are now doubting his sanity, as he is still not yet content with his magic. Nobody knows how far his greed for power will take him.
