Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It always seems to be hungry.

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.

This hatchling was forced out of its egg prematurely.

Lingering Dream was the first child of Forbidden Journey. She is a happy young hatchling, always asking her adopted brother, Forgotten Harvest, to play. Whenever he turns her down (which is most of the time) she is never disappointed and plays by herself for a few hours and then asks him again. His answer remains the same.
