The egg faded away completely; in its place there’s a cute baby dragon. It doesn’t seem to have much substance, though.

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.

Ratlike is always hungry, while his guardians feel he already eats a lot and don't want him to get fat. If desperate, he'll sneak away from the nest and often goes into humans' homes and raids their shelves. He's especially fond of raspberries and honey and eats them first. The homeowners do not like the ghost-rat-thing and fling him back into the woods when they catch him.
