=== Biology === Most dragons in the cosmere are [[fain]] creatures, and as such hexapedal, with four legs and two wings. They are inherently ageless, and suited towards their long lifespans, but they are not unkillable.~~{{wob ref\|2655}}~~{{wob ref\|5730~~}}{{wob ref\|8204~~}}{{wob ref\|15310}} In their true forms, they are not necessarily large; some are smaller than [[sandling]]s, while others can be as large as [[chasmfiend]]s.{{wob ref\|2655}}{{book ref\|sa4\|80}} Their skin is covered with pearlescent scales, as well as silvery streaks of [[Dragonsteel (metal)\|dragonsteel]] that run along the body, mostly the limbs, up towards their horns, which are made entirely of dragonsteel.{{book ref\|Tress\|51}} ~~Despite~~Even ~~their~~in this nonhuman form, they are still able to speak with a human-sounding voice.{{book ref\|sa4\|80}}{{book ref\|tress\|51}} Despite being reptilian, they are able to grow hair across the head, and under the neck and chin as a beard.{{book ref\|tress\|51}} At least some of them are carnivorous.{{book ref\|yumi\|28}} Most dragons have the capability to shapeshift, taking on the form of different species, including humans.{{book ref\|tress\|51}} In fact, shapeshifting into a human is a core aspect of their life cycle. Dragons are born in humanoid form, then transition into their draconic form upon hitting puberty, and eventually gain the ability to switch between those two forms at will.{{wob ref\|16187}} It is also likely that assyming a humanoid form is required for them to bear children. {{ref\|group=fn\|text=Brandon has stated that dragons "give birth in humanoid form."{{wob ref\|16187}} Given the context, this most likely means that the dragon is born as a humanoid. It is unknown if a dragon needs to be in humanoid form to bear children.}} When in their humanoid form, dragons are indistinguishable form the species they are presenting as.{{wob ref\|7171}} Their shapeshifting method is different to that of the [[kandra]], even if the result is similar.{{wob ref\|148}}
