Aww... It's a cute baby dragon. Its eyes glow brightly at night, and it enjoys attacking insects and small animals.
And look! It's grown its wings! It must be close to maturing.
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.
Rules is an incredibly frustrated hatchling. No matter how hard this black dragon tries to be noticed, she always seems to get overlooked in the midst of adult dragons running around in circles, shouting about how their babies are about to die, or hatchlings wandering up to eggs and demanding to know what type of dragon is inside. She's stubborn, though, and she doggedly keeps trying to make people pay attention to her.
