Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon... except for the tangle of dangerous-looking vines surrounding it...

Now there are even more vines. Perhaps something is happening?

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.

Cheweh is a very sickly dragon, he constantly walks around coughing and sneezing because he seems to be allergic to everything. This is because his raiser froze him instead of fogging the poor thing. Cheweh therefor has been very sickly since hatching, and cannot go out of his cave much at all. His foster father, Chompers, keeps a close eye on Cheweh at all times, fearful that even the slightest of germs will kill him.
