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.

Two headed dragons are a special breed of dragons. They have two necks, two brains, two mouths, but one stomach and one main body. The two heads usually work together, but there are times when they will fight each other, attacking back and forth. They use their sharp teeth and wings to hunt large animals, and rarely eat plants. It is unknown what would happen if a two headed dragon were to mate with a one headed dragon, since it has never occurred. They only mate within their breed.

The egg was definitely unusual, sitting there out in the open of the large and cluttered cave that xxshaelxx ventured into late one very hot afternoon. Somehow, its two-toned colors seemed to fit the mess that sat around it, for instead of gold, all she could find was pretty things of different shades of blue. Quickly, she whisked the egg from its nest and brought it to her own cottage in a shady wood nearby. When Schinn hatched, she was definitely surprised to see that instead of having one head, he had a whopping two! And much to her disapproval, he shared the same likes for pretty blue things, and soon began a collection of Sapphires the likes many have never seen! There was, however, one trinket, a very large one at that, that Schinn did take a liking to, even though this trinket seemed conflicted over his right head or his left. Shaeyo was her name, and soon he found himself starting a new family with her and settling down in his own untidy cave.
