Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It is very dark in color, but its eyes glow brightly.

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.

Flare Sauce II, daughter of Flare Sauce, is incapable of growing. She will never have children, which doesn't worry her father Ospeherous because he is very protective of her. She is princess in Sugarfeather's Clan of dragons, which is good for the Clan because of her wisdom even as a young looking dragon.
