Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It perfectly depicts winter weather.

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.

As it is the custom when a fall dragon lays a winter egg, Little Iceheart was abandoned as a hatchling. He searches for other members of his kind as he can no longer stay with his parents. After meeting the inhospitable Below Zero winter dragon, he is very cautious of the caves he tries to approach.
