Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It’s almost disappointingly plain.

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.

Kaufmann has an interest in humans, and, once a week and with adult supervision, he travels to the nearest group of humans to study their behavior. They seem to find him cute, but he doesn't understand what they say to him, so he can't be sure. Some of the young ones like to pick him up and squeeze him, distracting him from his note-taking.
