Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It is rather pale in color and likes to sleep while balancing on one leg.

And look! It has grown wings and is much brighter! 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.

Zdachoo likes to pretend she is part of the scenery, like a tree or a rock.  She stands perfectly still for hours, breaking her pose only to eat or for other essential needs.  Occasionally a passerby will marvel at how life-like the carving is and wander off not realizing that she is indeed alive.
