Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It has two tails!

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.

SwallowtailPansy is a Swallowtail Dragon hatchling who loves flowers. She is good friends with a human who grows a lovely flower garden. The kindly human woman is always happy to see the cute, two tailed hatchling bounding down the path. SwallowtailPansy is very gentle with the flowers, even though she loves to bend down and smell them. She loves to pick wildflowers, but wouldn't dare touch one of the flowers in the garden. She only wants to make a bouquet of flowers that someone didn't put a lot of time and care for.
