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.

Asinselle Charcoal was born with a slight mental slowness which is the cause of her inability to communicate telepathically. In addition to being unable to communicate telepathically, she is also unable to communicate with other dragons in any way. She simply nods or shakes her head whenever she happens to understand a question. However, she's had several male black hatchlings fall for her because of her cute charm.
