Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It has bright blue eyes, and is as clumsy as any other hatchling, but it never seems to get injured.

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.

Whiteswipe really loves being a white dragon because he is the only one who can be apprenticed to Dewbite. He takes the art of healing very seriously, and spend a lot of his time badgering Dewbite with questions. Whiteswipe tends to keep to his own corner in the cave, so as not to see the prey the hunters bring in. So much death makes him very sorrowful, and he often wishes he could help the animals.
