Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. Its scales give off a beautiful golden gleam.

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.

Goldie is a strange little dragon who was frozen right before it was his time to mature. As a result of this, he happens to hold a special distaste for adult dragons that are not his mother and father.

Annoyingly for him, he has an older sister, Butterscale, who was able to grow to her adult form. He refuses to have contact with her and growls at her whenever she comes near.
