Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It sleeps a lot, but when it’s awake, it’s quite a handful.

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.

This poor hatchling is named after a song. He was lost in the snow and almost froze, which is why his nickname is Freezing. He is very cowardly because of that, but he is also very playful. He was found and raised by Pinkie. He also loves the song he was named after, and always sings the lyrics. He is a pretty good singer.
