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

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.

Deirdre, once a happy, young, energetic hatchling, will now and forever mourn the death of its den-mate. Now the young hatchling does not play with any of the hatchlings, and is only rarely seen doing anything but crying for its lost friend.
