Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. Except for the occasional flicker of movement, it remains inanimate.

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.

Striff's favorite past time is scaring.She usually gives Kit, her master, the cute routine before becoming still as death and waiting to surprise the other hatchlings. She can be a bit of a stone bully at times, though her inactivity during most of the day has dulled the issue.
