Aww... It's a cute baby dragon... except for the tangle of dangerous-looking vines surrounding it...
Now there are even more vines. Perhaps something is happening?

Young dragons are relatively defenseless. Their scales don't grow in until right before they mature, and they have almost no strength. Once a hatchling's wings grow in, it marks the beginning of maturation. At this point they are usually left alone by their mother and begin to hunt and survive on their own.

A stray spell has made this fierce little lass unable to fully mature. She doesn't mind too much, as her tiny size and her cunning use of vines have gotten her a comfy bed in her Owner's house. A beautiful wood and iron handmade planter box is kept in the window by the front door, and Briar lives contentedly within it, sharing space with fresh herbs and a couple of bonsai trees. Because she has spent so much time around humans, a rare thing for any Vine dragon, she is actually quite tame and enjoys having her headscales scratched.
