It’s an undead baby dragon, produced by a failed magical spell. It probably would be cute if it weren’t partially decayed.

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.

Amber was once a pretty Horse Dragon hatchling. Her owner had held a ritual in which to test her powers of reviving a dead dragon; however, it failed. To save her owner, Amber volunteered to be killed. Instead of reviving a Horse Dragon, Amber became a zombie. Although it was a tragedy, Amber found herself even more adorable than before, and so did her owner. However, sometimes it is hard to find brains to feed the hatchling.
