Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. Its eyes glow brightly at night, and it enjoys attacking insects and small animals.

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.

Rummy always loved being a hatchling better than growing up. Whenever trouble turned up in the cave all eyes turned to Rummy since he was most likely involved if he wasn't at the head of it. Unfortunately for ever one else, he has never grown out of it, or grown up it seems. The most recent rumor is that, like being able to stay in his egg till he chose, he chose to remain young forever. No one knows the true story and he is too busy having fun to ever tell someone.
