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.

Bright pink dragons are one of the few all-female breeds of dragons. Their bright colors make them easy to spot during dragon mating season. They are primarily herbivores, but eat meat during mating season when it is brought to them by a mate. Mating seasons occur once every 200 years and can last up to 2 years.

Serendipity Sun is much smaller than the other dragons, and by far sweeter in demeanor, though she is vain and enjoys spending much time gazing into pools, turning this way and that to see her burnished pink scales shimmer and flash with the light, or to observe the vaguely shifting colour patterns in her azure eyes. While she is a very flirtatious dragon and more often in heat than any of the other females in Silver Healer's lair, the males cannot bear her insistent teasing and eye-batting, and so far none have ever mated with her. This baffles her, for she considers herself to be the only worthwhile female in the cave, even more worthy of certain males than their own lifemates!
