Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It has bright blue eyes, and is as clumsy as any other hatchling, but it never seems to get injured.

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 hatchling was forced out of its egg prematurely.

This hatchling works under the head gardening hatchling in the garden of his human. He loves to garden, but is more of a hindrance than an asset. But he is so enthusiastic and willing to help with any task needed the other gardening hatchlings don't have the heart to send him away, even though it usually means more work for them.
