Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It’s very light and enjoys bouncing all around.

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.

Hatched in the middle of the Yuletide festivities, the young dragon was dressed as a reindeer to help celebrate the season.  Once the holidays had passed and everyone returned to normal, the little Balloon didn't believe it was anything but a reindeer.  It refuses to believe it is a dragon, and is also refusing to grow up.  The Healers of Verdant are trying everything possible, but without success.  It stubbornly denies all attempts to make it understand that it is truly a dragon with a dragon name, that the costume was just make-believe, and continually, repeatedly, tells anyone who will listen, "But I Really AM A Reindeer!"
