Dragons are carnivorous, but occasionally will eat things like berries and other varios types of vegetation. Dragons are fiercely territorail. They will protect their territory, or occasinally their mate at all costs. Most dragons will reach maturity at 250 to 300 years of age. Dragons can live for thousands of years, maybe even millenia. Some people may think dragons that are dragons are immortal, or live forever, but they do eventually die. They may die in battle, sickness, or old age.
Most people think that dragons aren't real, but figments of our imagination or faiytales and legends. This may be true to them, but dragons in truth could just be very good at hiding. They can still be found today in lakes, rivers, ancient woodland, remote places, and magical and elemental places. Dragons need spaces with lots of trees and crevices. They also need pure areas without chemicals. Most dragons prefer areas with plenty of water, where they can hide and drink. Water renders most dragons almost invisible and will not put out there fire.
Other things to know about dragons are that you see them all the time in history as great beasts that try to attack castles, steal princesses, and eat livestock for paticalr reason. There is an explanation, though. The dragons might attack the castle because it was built in the dragons territory. It might eat livestock because it had to move where no food was to be found and it has to eat farmers animals as an improvise. The stealing princesses theory is just a story, however.
