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.

Devious and sly, Nairra is an extremely unfriendly dragon. She refuses to play with the other hatchlings—she finds associating with them in any positive way degrading. She will nip at any of them that try to get near her. She spends most of her time skulking around, trying to steal from the older dragons' hoards.
