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.

Silver dragons are arguably one of the most beautiful types of dragons. They live in high altitude habitats such as mountains. Silver females, like most female dragons, eat meat only when a male dragon brings it to them. They possess an almost magical aura that lights up any place they are in, and are looked upon with awe by humans and animals alike.

Vylea is a very sweet natured dragon. Like most female dragons, she is a strict vegetarian unless her mate, Klikk, brings her meat. Even then, she prefers fish as opposed to mammal or bird meat. She can often be found mothering various creatures, whether they are abandoned young or wounded animals she discovered. Her closest companion is an unusual one, a small chicken named Chocobo. Found in the dragon cave as an egg, Vylea quickly took it upon herself to care for the growing chick. The chicken long since grown, they are an inseparable pair.
