Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. Its skin is smooth and doesn’t seem to have any color to it.

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.

KindAlbino is a sweet little Albino Dragon hatchling. He's very friendly, but many hatchlings are afraid of him. He has a birth defect, and his front paws are horribly deformed and far larger than they should be. He limps terribly when he walks. But KindAlbino's wings are just fine. When he flies, he is free. He has to jump off a cliff or a large rock to get started, but once in the air he is graceful and swift.
