Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It has bright blue eyes, and is as clumsy as any other hatchling, but it never seems to get injured.

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.

Aurora Whitewing is one of those who have fallen prey to Vampire Poison. His first name, Aurora, is reserved for those who will never grow up as a result of Vampire Poison. Luckily, the poison did not have time to spread and mutate him into a Vampire Dragon before he hatched, but he can never mature as a result of the poison.He will never get a true first name as first names are only given if a dragon matures, and he never will. However, he is not pessimistic about it and always keeps a positive outlook, often encouraging his Clanmates.
