Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It is very brightly colored and enjoys splashing in puddles.

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.

Are You Eight is a lippy little hatchling who earned his name by asking any dragon who telepathically spoke to him in a baby voice if they were eight. In his mind, eight years old was the last age at which it was appropriate to communicate like a baby. Ironically, Are You Eight will stay a 'baby' forever, and he is perfectly content with that. Heaven forbid he should grow up to be one of those adults who talk down to children! Despite the heavy dose of sass in his make up, he is a sweet, happy hatchling who gets on extremely well with his fellow frozens and with any adults who talk to him as if he is on their intellectual level.
