Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It enjoys gathering pebbles and other small rocks and putting them in a pile.

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.

DarkMalachite is a very clever Green Dragon hatchling. He likes to play games with the other hatchlings. His best friend is the rambunctious Black Dragon hatchling, DarkNightChild and they are such good friends that everyone considers them brothers.
