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.
Black dragons are warriors. They are strong and capable in battles of force, but also ample magic users, capable of devastating opponents with their spells. Their bright eyes give them excellent night vision, which is why they generally hunt during the night.
This dragon seems to be quite noble. Like many blacks before her, she appears to be a warrior, which is displayed by several scars along her black hide. In her glowing emerald eyes you can see a sort of cold pride, along with love for her family. Ravindra and her son, Argarmir, often take to nighttime flights with her mate, a sky dragon by the name of Lavitz. These adventures serve as a refreshing escape from her rough-and-tumble lifestyle as a huntress and defender of her territory.
