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.

When water dragons mature, they lose their legs and the ability to survive on land, entering the water permanently. They are adept swimmers and eat whatever fish are in the lake they live in. They tend to inhabit the same lake for their entire lives, although a few live in the ocean and swim all over the world.

WatersMoon is a lovely Water Dragon. She was named in honor of her best friend and owner. She is madly in love with NemesisRidiculii, a handsome Deep Sea Dragon. They meet up often halfway between their two homes. Along with her human caregiver, WatersMoon is a part of her cave's Dragon Council. The Council is responsible for settling arguments and fights. Also in the counsel are the Guardian Dragon DreamyGuardian and the Frilled Dragon TruthfulFrills. She lives on the ocean surface, near the cove where she was born. She can see and telepathically talk to her her mother, the Water Dragon CalmOceanDreams. Her little sister, StormyOcean and her half brother DarkRainStorm, who are both Grey Dragon hatchlings, can often be found swimming and playing with her.
