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.

This breed of dragon results from eggs or hatchlings that have been neglected. They are usually rebellious, not obeying their masters, sometimes even attacking them. However, their neglect as a hatchling leaves them crippled, and they are weak compared to other breeds, causing them to stay with their masters for protection.

In the night Ryseo wept. She had been neglected for so long... tortured as an egg and then all but ignored as a hatchling. Her owner didn't even look at her until she was an adult, and it was only by chance that she had been left in a hatchery that fed her. She was lucky to even grow up, not that she felt that way. Fortunately she found the other neglected dragons in the cave and together they band together for protection. Despite their presence she lives her life in despair and rage, waiting for a life that will never improve.
