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.

Seasonal dragons take on the characteristics of the season during which they are born. Thus, eggs that are laid in spring match the pink flowers and green buds of spring, and those that are laid in the summer grow to depict the bright green of the forest trees and the yellow of the sun. Eggs laid in autumn display the bright colors of leaves falling from trees, and those that are laid during winter take on the appearance of the icy snow.

Botty is full of magical powers, which she utilises on a whim. Other dragons find her most intimidating, especially The Ryan, as she once made him totally disappear for several hours. Botty hunts for fun, and has a scathing sense of wit. She breeds with several males, because she enjoys the mating experience, but she secretly wishes to have a mate for life with whom she can share love and tenderness. When not hunting or breeding, she has a tendency to be lazy, and eat huge plates of her prey, roasted, with Medievally-prepared chips. She likes to hang out with Panini Puck, and enjoys a good gossip, using telepathy of course, as dragons don't talk.
