Nowhere are the dragora more comfortable than in caves. They can spend their whole lives in caves. In battle, they prove strong and tough fighters, climbing with remarkable speed and grace, jumping off rocks to lash opponents with weapons or talons before turning and climbing back up.

Dragonic Mannerisms
Many dragora talk with growls, a dragora might become frustrated with people who do not under stand what their growls mean.

Most dragora live with their dragonborn cousins. Dragora are not accepted in the modern World of Dragons, so they find and live/hide with dragonborns or other Ddagora.
Once tribes of dragora settle in an area, they share a hunting territory that extends across an area up to 200 miles surrounding their cave, with each tribe hunting in the lands nearest to their colony, ranging farther should game become scarce.
