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.

Bright pink dragons are one of the few all-female breeds of dragons. Their bright colors make them easy to spot during dragon mating season. They are primarily herbivores, but eat meat during mating season when it is brought to them by a mate. Mating seasons occur once every 200 years and can last up to 2 years.

Ungoliant the Rose, despite being named after the monstrous mother of all spiders, is the the more gentle of the two pink females of her clan. Her nature is affectionate and mild, most of the time. The only exception is when the clan's young are threatened, at which point her maternal anger rises and becomes sharply protective. Ungoliant loves helping Taragon, the oldest mint dragon of her clan in his efforts to make the clan's caverns more pleasant to dwell in.
