Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It always seems to be picking over its scales.

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.

Shmarerh is a clumsy hatchling often getting herself into accidents. Though none are serious, they embarrass her immensely and she will often hide, which is the reason she is very anti-social. Nevertheless, she is a pleasant dragon; always sticking up for others and considering their well-being in acts of selflessness.
