Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. Except for the occasional flicker of movement, it remains inanimate.

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.

Goylelet tends to just sit in one spot all day. He is covered in moss and lichen by now and doesn't even make the effort to clean it off. He may even have fern sprouts on him, but no one has checked. This laziness will kill him someday, if he moves to a spot where no one has pity on him. Thankfully, he is too lazy to do so. This is the only thing besides food and water that keeps him alive.
