Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It has large frills on its head.

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.

Daidaiiro Tategami is a sharp and analytical young dragon.  He isn't much for welcoming company, although he sometimes shadows the adults. (Most hatchlings he repels with a hiss and flare of his mane.)  Surprisingly, he is more interested in the storm dragons than those of his own kind.  He has been observed stalking them and then attempting to copy their magic in private.  "Dai," as he is nicknamed, can actually manage a respectable mini-storm spell.  This helps him compensate for his relatively weak body.
