Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. Ever since it hatched, it has been hiding among the tree leaves.

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.

Mango loves to eat mangoes, as his name suggests. He eats so much sometimes that he can become bloated and unable to fly. Mango is slightly fearful of larger dragons outside his species, but he seems to adore his tamer and the other small, jungle dragons. As soon as he grew his wings he took to the skies as though he was born for the sole purpose of flying. He likes to collect the pits of certain fruits, such as peaches.
