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.

As a ghost, Meepsa wanted the friends of her former life to remember her.  She rolled a dragon's egg into town and told them to tend it.  Out of love for Meepsa and curiosity about the egg, they did.

This Gift of Meepsa's Ghost turned out to be a playful mischief maker.  No one had the heart to discipline him well because they felt it would dishonor Meepsa's memory.  As a result, he feels uncared for and pulls many a prank in an attempt to gain closer attention.
