Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It has begun to mimic your voice, and studies your habits intently.

And look! It’s grown larger and its antlers are coming in. 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.

Reminder Freeze at Gendering wants to grow up big and strong so that he can gobble up the copper wyvern he's been jealous of since school days. Missed the Ice Bucket was always goofing off and having fun, while Reminder Freeze at Gendering had to do homework and study. Now, Missed the Ice Bucket has grown to be way bigger than Reminder Freeze at Gendering, and he is afraid he will never get to be big enough to gulp her down! Admittedly, his parents told him it would be a slim chance anyways since—at least in his part of the world—females tend to be slightly larger than males anyways, but he wouldn't let that stop him.
