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.

Diving through the depths of the ocean, scanning for enemies, this is what Silent Wave does to keep himself alive. The only species that are able to go underwater, Silent Wave takes this to his advantages. Silent Wave is a quick-witted, calm, and silent dragon. Through the waves you may never hear the waves move and never see a shadow of him. His slender body makes it easy to hide himself in the seaweeds in the oceans. Silent Wave has yet to learn though, that he will need friends to help him survive in this lonely world. He is young, and still learning with his many skills passed on to him by his parents.
