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. Male silver dragons hunt and eat meat. While not as beautiful or radiant as females, silver males possess better physical attributes, such as strength.

Zilver is a fun-loving, mischievous Silver Dragon. He enjoys sneaking up behind his fellow dragons only to pounce on them in a fit of laughter. He has developed a method of imitating fireflies, and uses this to attract young hatchlings before leaping out to startle them and send them running in fear. (He always apologizes afterwards, but there are many young dragons who are fearful to talk to him due to this experience.)
