Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. Its eyes glow brightly at night, and it enjoys attacking insects and small animals.

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.

Counting is very organized hatchling, and borderline obsessive about numbers. It will sometimes sit in one spot for hours on end, counting every pebble. Once that is done, Counting will then set about organizing them, shifting the stones into piles categorized by size, color, and type.

Should anyone try to stop or distract Counting, the Black hatchling will take a deep breath, close its eyes, and say, "I'm counting the seconds until you go away. One... Two... Three... Four... Five..."
