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.

Green dragons are also sometimes called "earth" dragons. They usually live deep within caves, and have power over the earth. They are capable of launching boulders at high speeds, and can cause earthquakes by slamming down onto the ground.

Growing up with two stone dragons Pamatu Dievs acquired quite a few bruises and a steady character. His name translated from Latvian means God of Foundations. He feels a bit unsure about his strength seeing how he doesn't have a rock covering and he too never flies.

He is probably one of the last dragons who is let to grow in the cave with his parents. It is agreed between the caves watchers and the caves dragons that all offspring are to be given away and other dragons offspring taken in for raising.
