Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It must be very shy since it keeps hiding from you.

It’s gotten slightly bigger! 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.

LittleStarFlower is very bold for a Mint Dragon hatchling, which means she isn't ALWAYS hiding behind something, sometimes she just cowers down low to the ground. LittleStarFlower is friends with everyone in her cave, and delights in spending time with her father, SilverStarChaser.
