Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. Icicles keep forming on its body, but it doesn’t seem to be bothered by the cold.

And look! It has grown wings! It must be close to maturing.

Young dragons are relatively defenseless. They are born with relatively soft scales, which are shed and replaced with harder ones as the hatchling matures. Once a hatchling’s wings grow in, it typically marks the beginning of maturation. At this point they are often capable of hunting on their own and are usually left alone by their mother.

This little hatchling is a great fan of the art of Sault and Peppa and Gangsta Rap. He really is far too young to tell the difference in quality between the three Royal Blue dragonesses, he just knows that he enjoys the style. He even tries to imitate them but so far his best attempts have been the meaningful lyrics going "Ice, Ice-baby, Ice, Ice-baby," repeated over and over again.
