Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It has a large, shield-like object at the end of its tail that it uses for protection.

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.

When an anti-aging spell is cast on a dragon, it usually only affects the dragon's physical state. When the spell was cast on Kaimi Ayulsa; however, it affected the poor creature mentally as well. Kaimi will now spend the rest of his life as a hatchling in both mind and body, though he doesn't seem to be terribly upset about this.
