Before the Magic
Before magic arrived, their biology was normal, that of a large Dragon, with the ability to fly very fast, resist the lows and highs, natural temperatures of the ecosystem, where they lived, with the ability to reproduce naturally, the power spitting fire, a skin as hard as metal, and with a very long longevity, which made them live several centuries, completing the millennium of useful life and a little more.

After the magic
After the magic encompassed and reproduced in the world, almost all the dragons perished, but the ones that managed to adapt, gained the ability to use magic in multiple ways, with an eternal body, and almost immortal (not immortal itself, but practically), with a lot of magic and magic recovery. At the same time, the magic caused their brains to undergo much change, which caused them to give intelligence and self-awareness more clearly and self-aware than before in the past.

This also made his normal qualities, such as his natural resistances, tough skin, and so on, become even tougher and stronger than normal.
