Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It enjoys gathering pebbles and other small rocks and putting them in a pile.

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.

Moriyasu is an ancient among hatchlings. This is because he was frozen while close to maturing. He is one of the oldest dragons on the scroll, even though he does not look the part. Oh, and for your own safety, please don't feed him sugar before bedtime, and make sure you take time to brush his fangs.
