Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It perfectly depicts summer weather.

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.

Creja Re Wind is a silent, melancholy hatchling; unlike Rasuke, he was pressured by Rasadine into having himself frozen for being inbred. Carnie was horrified when the truth was revealed, but it was too late: the spell had been cast, and Creja was doomed to remain a hatchling until his dying day. He wasn't terribly talkative to begin with, but this traumatic event only drove him further into himself. It took weeks for Rasuke to solidify herself as a friend, and only recently has the seasonal hatchling begun to open up about himself (for instance, that the name he claimed is pronounced 'cray-ah,' not 'cray-juh').
