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.

Ruz'Kovyn makes his home in a dangerous volcanic range, just so he can be close to the passionate Red who unwittingly stole his heart. Her fiery personality drew him out of the insular life he'd led, causing him to look at the world with new and wondering eyes. So much to be excited by! So much to experience! So much to love! He knows and accepts that she will never cleave to him alone, and is content merely to have her close, enjoying the strange friendship they've shared since their mating, for she is not uncaring.
