Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It likes garnets, but only certain kinds.

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.

This hatchling lives alongside a stream where salmon flourish. He drives away bears during the spawning season to ensure he has plenty to eat for himself.

Nobbahrs enjoys his small domain, though he has very little hoard compared to other pyralspites of similar age.
