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.

Black dragons are warriors. They are strong and capable in battles of force, but also ample magic users, capable of devastating opponents with their spells. Their bright eyes give them excellent night vision, which is why they generally hunt during the night.

Tanarim is the only son Ahnima kept with her. He was the smallest egg, the weakest of her offspring.

Tanarin grew up under his mothers protection always hearing stories about his fragility and weakness. Trying to prove value to his mother, he decided to stay beside her as an ally learning everything he could. (Ahnima, Tanarins mother is a great warrioress)

He discovered he was better using words to inspire other dragons to join the battle than fighting and finally proved her value to her mother and other black dragons gaining their respect.

Tanarin is a young father and tries to teach his offspring to develope their own skills to use as main advantage.
