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.

This hatchling wears a butterbeer cork necklace. She claims it repels nargels, annoying creatures that steal anything and everything they get their paws on. Nargels infest mistletoe, which made the hatchling avoid doors during Christmas, but ever since she is wearing the necklace, the hatchling has even been kissed under the mistletoe. The necklace has no effect on the Crumple-Horned Snorkack, though.
