Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. Its skin is smooth and doesn’t seem to have any color to it.

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.

Screech Bone was trekking through the mountains when he came to a dead end with 2 pathways leading right and left. One had a sign that said BEWARE, and the other said ENTER in dragon blood. Screech Bone was very dumb witted so he took the enter sign leading left. At the end of the tunnel something jumped out of nowhere and cast a freezing spell on him and from then on out he never grew or died. And the moment right before he got frozen he screeched so loudly it rattled his bones! So forever after that he stayed a youngling.
