Aww... It’s a cute baby drake. It seems to like you, although it is very hyperactive and difficult to train.

And look! It has grown wings! It must be close to maturing.

Young drakes 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 marks the beginning of maturation. At this point they are often capable of hunting on their own.

Gusstwing is a very curious and inquisitive Ochredrake hatchling. He acts before he thinks

(if he thinks at all) and is always at the bottom of trouble in the cave. He is a dusty brown tinted very slightly with clay red. His underbelly and snout are peachy tan.
