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. 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.

This Silver hatchling loves to play hide and seek. Due to his small size and flexible body, he has remained the champion of the game within his cave.

He has fallen so in love with the game that he will cover himself in soot to obscure his tell-tale glow, much to the horror of the adult Silvers who spend a good portion of their days ensuring their bodies stay perfectly clean.
