Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It sleeps a lot, but when it’s awake, it’s quite a handful.

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.

Floofy is the lifelong friend of her owner Rosewicket. Ever since hatching they have had an unusually strong bond, and they spend every night curled up in front the fire reading. A very bright dragon, Floofy has been quick to absorb skills like reading and herblore, and often assists her friend in healing work. The pair have become truly inseparable, and the strength of their friendship has inspired many other dragons to trust their human guardians more.
