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.

Magia Scura is the leader of the hatchling gang in Stromboli's nest. He is a strong, bold little dragon, and most often in the thick of whatever mischief the hatchlings get up to. He idolizes Drago Mauro, the patron Black dragon, for his hunting skill, and will often lead his fellow Black hatchlings on mock hunts.
