Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. Its eyes glow brightly at night, and it enjoys attacking insects and small animals.

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.

Thaz is a very odd dragon hatchling. She's extremely intelligent, and she loves to draw—she uses her claws to insribe patterns and designs on the rocky walls. The noise she creates while doing so, however, has caused many dragons to cover their ears.
