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.

Unlike their diurnal relatives, Night Glory drakes are shy and reserved. Active during the night, they are often mistaken for bats and chased away from human settlements. With their excellent agility and night vision, they are perfectly adapted to nocturnal life. Breeding only takes place during evenings after the dark settles in.

This shy drake found a church steeple to be the perfect place to roost.  The priests and acolytes never got a good look at her - they just saw something flit further into the shadows when performing steeple maintenance.  Despite divine protection, the church personnel are somewhat frightened of what lurks in their steeple and most avoid disturbing her.  However, one brave (or stupid) acolyte, tasked with clearing bats from the belfry, discovered that she is something more and now brings treats to her on a regular basis.
