Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. Its eyes glow brightly at night, and it enjoys attacking insects and small animals.

And look! It has grown wings! 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.

Kari is a curious and somewhat clumsy hatchling. She follows a certain group of strange frozen hatchlings around, trying to figure out what they're doing, but she always trips or makes some kind of noise and they flee in an instant. Despite her constant failure, though, she continues to try.
