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.

Stone dragons have a tough outer covering made of a stone-like material. They eat rocks, using the minerals they contain for nourishment and to keep up their stone outer shell. They rarely move, and are the heaviest of all types of dragons. Although they have wings, indicating flight ability, no one has ever seen a stone dragon flying.

Sliver Stone is a Stone dragon. He doesn't like to be near other dragons at all. He is very shiny. The scroll-keeper thinks that when Sliver Stone was a hatchling, he must have eaten rocks containing silver which made him look silvery. He is a medium sized dragon, a little small for a stone dragon, though. Sliver Stone will sleep a lot. He will wake up when he is hungry, but he will usaully only stay awake for a few hours.Sliver Stone was named Sliver Stone instead of Silver Stone becuase of his wings.The one time he has extended his wings with the scroll-keeper watching him,His wings each had one long, thin sliver in each of them. The scroll-keeper isn't sure if this was normal, so he was named Sliver Stone instead of Silver Stone.
