Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It glows brightly, and seems to prefer warm areas.

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.

Erif loves fire.  He realized when he was very young that adult dragons didn't have time to play around in flames, so he decided to stay the way he was.  Now he spends all of his time leaping around in fire, or sleeping in his nest of coals.
