Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It’s very light and enjoys bouncing all around.

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.

Flochess is a very serious young dragon, preferring to spend her time studying or observing nature rather than play with the other frozen hatchlings. She has friends, most of whom are younger adult dragons, and enjoys discussing deep and usually boring issues with any who will listen.
