Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It enjoys running through a nearby pumpkin patch.

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.

Beldun loves to eat frogs.  He often hunts them by hopping along behind in their tracks until he gets too close, then slup! Into his mouth they go.

Once while hunting, this hatchling hopped across an old, dented bell.  He likes the dull clack it has for a ring and keeps it safely stowed in his home.
