One episode involves the dragons and kids taking care of a caterpillar that presumably dies, and fondly remembering the good times they had with it while it was alive. Of course, it's only cocooned, waiting to become a butterfly.

Ignore the troll. Even the episode where death is talked about doesn’t even have actual death in it, as revealed in the ending.
If it really needs to be mentioned to someone: the episode where death is discussed is “Goodbye, Little Caterpoozle”. In Dragon Land, a caterpoozle is their equivalent to a caterpillar. Anyway, we learn Cassie has a pet caterpoozle named Poozie, and we see everyone play with Poozie. Then Cassie leaves Poozie in her cage for a bit to keep her safe (Cassie is going to do another activity), and we see Poozie shiver before “covering up” with a cocoon. When Cassie returns to Poozie’s cage, Cassie can’t find Poozie at first, but then Max points out something under a leaf (Poozie’s cocoon, but nobody knows that yet). So then Cassie assumes the worst and starts crying. It’s sad. She wraps the cocoon in a leaf and then Quetzel helps Cassie, Emmy, Max, Ord, Weezy, and Zac have a funeral by putting the shrouded cocoon in a hole in a tree. They all say nice things, like you do at a funeral. After that, Weezy tries to be helpful by suggesting Cassie try to find another pet, and obviously there’s no replacement, but Cassie does find another caterpoozle, and names that one Poozie 2. Then Quetzel asks Cassie if Poozie 1 was also a caterpoozle, and Cassie says yes. So Quetzel leads everyone back to the tree and unwraps the leaf and we see that the cocoon is hatching and then Poozie comes out as a butterfairy (the Dragon Land equivalent of a butterfly). And he explains that everyone changes as they grow. So really the episode is about both life and death. Every moment is treated with tact and grace.
