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.

It was a long time ago when xxshaelxx found an oddly colored egg hidden in the shadows of a deep and menacing cave.  The instant she stepped within this dank and dreary dragon den, she knew there was something amiss, like a confliction within the air.  Little did she know when she stole the egg, that rather than getting just one dragon, she was really getting twofor when it hatched, the little thing had sprouted two heads instead of one!  Now, Shaeyo was a very confusing dragon, each head loving its sister more than anything in the world, though xxshaelxx had never seen siblings fight so much!  They argued and argued and argued, and when they met their mate, Schinn, they argued about who got to love on his left head, and when they decided that neither could have the left, they argued over the right!  Finally they settled, and now the quadruplets are happier than ever and have been creating a nice, large family ever since.
