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.
Stone dragons have a tough outer covering made of a stone-like material. They eat rocks, using the minerals they contain for nourishment and to keep up their stone outer shell. They rarely move, and are the heaviest of all types of dragons. Although they have wings, indicating flight ability, no one has ever seen a stone dragon flying.
Stone Lash is a stone dragon who doesn't do much. Since he's made out of stone, it's not really easy for him to move around. He usually stands guard of the cave which his owner's dragons live in since one dragon probably cannot move a dragon made out of stone. His red eyes usually scan the area before he takes slumber for awhile. Stone Lash seems to be a very somber and quiet dragon, but he only wishes to be able to move around more often and become friends with the other dragons.
