Hatchling will die if it doesn’t grow up in: 5 days and 13 hours

Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. Its body is soft and slightly translucent.

And look! The upper side of its body has grown glittery scales! 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.

This hatchling seems sick. It hasn’t been eating lately and it doesn’t move very much.

(The owner of this hatchling is accepting aid from others.)
