Aww... It's a cute baby dragon. It gives off a glow that lights up the cave.
Look, it's grown frills, and the glow around it has become even brighter.

Young dragons are relatively defenseless. Their scales don't grow in until right before they mature, and they have almost no strength. Once a hatchling's wings grow in, it marks the beginning of maturation. At this point they are usually left alone by their mother and begin to hunt and survive on their own.
