Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It doesn’t move much, and appears to be covered in stone.

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.

Quartz has the uncanny ability to fall asleep any- and everywhere. As she is a very young hatchling, she still needs lots of sleep, but she also loves to follow the adult dragons around to see what they are up to. When things get a bit too much she just lies down and takes a power-nap wherever she is at that moment. Mostly she gets awakened by some adult Earth or Guardian dragon stumbling upon the small hatchling bump unexpectedly blocking some passage.
