Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It sleeps a lot, but when it’s awake, it’s quite a handful.

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.

Benny, one of Goldenfield Village's resident pillow dragon hatchlings, is a sweet dragon with one unfortunate habit. While he loves to be petted and paid attention to, when he's had enough he'll nip without warning. Despite his little problem, he's one of the village's more popular dragon residents, as he is otherwise a very sweet and mellow dragon.
