Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It is so full of energy that you have a hard time keeping up with 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.

Brilasha is a pest. She uses her power of great speed to zip around the cave and annoy other dragons to death. The other hatchlings are in the most danger: since she is a hatchling herself, Brilasha finds them vulnerable targets that fall over easily. Whenever they least expect it, Briliasha pounces, then rushes away before the victim can react.
