Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon.

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.

RoseQuartzMoon is an adorable Pink Dragon hatchling. He is best friends with the Skywing hatchling, WingedWonderment. Together, they will organize their cave's other hatchlings into dragon games like Tail Tag and Hide and Squeak.
