Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It has a large, shield-like object at the end of its tail that it uses for protection.

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.

Dingi is a hatchling in the Cmo tribe. He has been frozen so he can be the senior hatchling in the village, and he watches the the other hatchlings.  His cave was attacked when he was one day old, and he had to find his way to the dragons who had fled. He always cares about the other hatchlings, and he will protect them with his life. He has the ability to cheer anyone up, and he comforts those who are in a bad mood.
