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.

Two headed dragons are a special breed of dragons. They have two necks, two brains, two mouths, but one stomach and one main body. The two heads usually work together, but there are times when they will fight each other, attacking back and forth. They use their sharp teeth and wings to hunt large animals, and rarely eat plants. It is unknown what would happen if a two headed dragon were to mate with a one headed dragon, since it has never occurred. They only mate within their breed.

Vemyst, a big family dragon, surprised her uncle and closest friend, Lorscythe, when she chose to mate with the clan's educator.  While Isosceles worked his hardest to give her the family she so much desired, he also had a duty to the rest of the clan and she was able to respect that.  Instead, she found she was able to spend the time that Isosceles was busy with his work with her cousins, helping to raise them.  She has never once regretted being mated to Isosceles even with his busy schedule and the two of them are very happy together when time permits.
