Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It seems to enjoy sunbathing.

And look! It has grown much bigger! 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.

LittleHunter is a delightful tiny Terrae dragon. She shows off her tiny budded antlers with pride, and uses them to poke at the other hatchlings. They resent her for it, but never stay angry for long.
