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.
Separately, the two heads of this dragon are known as Tali and Nia, but they are more often known as Talinia the Fierce. Unlike many of their kind, Tali and Nia get along quite well with each other. That is, until something upsets them, and it sends the two females into a frenzy, blaming each other for whatever went wrong. The fights are vicious and long, and the entire clan, including mates Windchaser the Feral, sees it best to just leave the two of them to battle it out until, inevitably, they both collapse in exhaustion with no winner. Clan leader Alexandros the Unmoving sometimes wishes they fought enemies half as brutally as they fought each other, and that's already taking in the fact that they're a valuable asset to the clan's fighting force.
