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.

Magi dragons are, as their name suggests, primarily magic users. They rarely use physical forms of attack. They eat anything they can kill, which is almost everything. They won’t kill unprovoked except when hunting, although they may kill humans if in danger. Their strong magic makes them one of the most feared breeds of dragons.

Ambersweet is a bright and charming young dragon. Like all the magi dragons of Jekan Caverns, she is named after a type of orange. Although Ambersweet is a particularly intelligent dragon, her magical skills are only average for a dragon of her type, and her spirit is not an adventurous one. She is strongly pair-bonded to the affable guardian dragon Theodoric Paris, and although she was at first thought to be infertile, the couple have finally started producing eggs, to their great delight.
