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.

When water dragons mature, they lose their legs and the ability to survive on land, entering the water permanently. They are adept swimmers and eat whatever fish are in the lake they live in. They tend to inhabit the same lake for their entire lives, although a few live in the ocean and swim all over the world.

Quiet and serious, Razz Neptune is the dominant male of the Water dragons' lake outside of the home cave.  He works closely with both the Alpha Preto Osso and the second-in-command, Silver and Mountainroot -- a Split dragon -- discussing naval tactics and offering suggestions on how to better defend the clan.  Ferociously territorial, Razz will attack and chase away any male Waters who try to challenge his dominance, before rumbling thunderously underwater to remind all other males in the area who's boss in his lake.  He is growing old, however, and spends more time quietly looking out for Maenii playing in the shallows rather than patrolling his domain in order to chase away younger males.  Razz silently longs for a strong son who will take claim of the lake when the old Water can no longer defend it, and hopes one day that he can 'retire' gracefully from dominance and simply live out his days in the lake with his family.
