Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It doesn’t move much, and appears to be covered in stone.

And look! It has grown wings! It must be close to maturing. However, the wings look too heavy to fly and are filled with beautiful crystal.

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.

Geodeclaw is one of Phoenix's dragons. Phoenix had him frozen and then thought better of it, and is still annoyed with herself for it. But Geodeclaw doesn't mind. He likes to spend the hours sleeping. Some call him lazy, but that isn't really the case. Geodeclaw is much too heavy to be able to move. The other hatchlings like to play a game called 'king of the crystal rock' with him, which is pretty much pretending Geodeclaw is a rock and they stand on him and declare it. The adult dragons love watching them do this, as it is very amusing.
