Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It’s very festively colored.

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.

User Description

While the Year's Children are traditionally said to number eight, some modern tales add two more to the count. Peppermint Dearling is the spirit of good will and proper behavior, the ideal that all hatchlings should strive for (if their parents can be believed). Hatchlings who have been good will awaken on Christmas Day to find that he has left them some small, suitably improving gift, like a few coins to be set aside for a future hoard. Most hatchlings prefer his supposedly less welcome partner, Sugarplum Wildling, who at least leaves a small piece of candy to go along with the broken toy, and would be grateful to know that the whole story is a fabrication. Peppermint Dearling exists, but he's hardly some unnatural paragon of virtue. He might spend much of his time keeping Sugarplum Wildling at least somewhat in check, but he's also been responsible for an impressive number of pranks, while his infrequent gifts (to hatchlings who would otherwise get nothing) are always marvelous toys.
