Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It doesn’t move much, and appears to be covered in stone.

And look! It has grown wings! It must be close to maturing. However, the wings look too heavy to fly and are filled with beautiful crystal.

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 little dragon prefers to remain nameless for "reasons of mysteriousness". She looks like a rock, especially since she likes sleeping in a tightly curled ball, but it doesn't take an igneous mind to look closer. Because she's often idle, other hatchlings think she's just a gneiss girl and take her presence for granite, but during the evening, she stays near a contested territory border with the adults for a reason. It takes a lot of bravery for someone so young to patrol, and no one her age is boulder than she is. She is a slate-of-the-art fighter with a hard head. Dragons who underestimate her cannot get past her rock-solid defense and gravel at her feet once they're walloped.
