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.

Gold dragons are the ones most often killed by humans, who consider their scales to be extremely valuable. These golden scales grant them a high level of protection, similar to armor, and they use this to their advantage in battle.

Million Dollar Dragon is currently the only cave born Gold in Kitsune's dragon keep.  Despite her elevated status and natural beauty, Million is one of the most unassuming dragons in the cave.  She believes her scales are rather garish and prefers the radiant colors of the resident Nebulae.  At night, Million can often be found stargazing with them - hoping if she looks at a constellation long enough, her color will change.
