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.

Skywing dragons spend most of their lives flying in the air. They hunt from the air, diving at prey from above, and land only to rest. They are some of the fastest fliers, capable of extremely high speeds. The webbing at the end of the tail acts as a rudder, allowing them to easily change direction during flight.

Yummycakes was named the same way his mate Puddincup was named, when trying to fly instead of landing in pudding he landed on the cake HaleyMo was making for a friend. He dreams of flying the world but knows his dear Puddincup would never leave so he stays with her, she knows his dream and allows him to take a break from looking around where they live to go else where. He takes these breaks with great pleasure and in return he brings back any egg or hatchling he finds.
