Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It has a slick, oily feeling hide.

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.

For whatever reason, he always seems to be lulled to sleep at the sound of the waves. It seems as if he always has someone to take care of him while he sleeps, though sporadic and long.
