Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It has large frills on its head.

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.

FrilledDagger is a Frilled Dragon hatchling who was orphaned at an early age. He doesn't know if his birth parents died or just lost him. But his adoptive parents are so kind and loving that he doesn't really care about why he found them. His mother, BurningQuartz, is a Red Dragon romantic. She mentally sings FrilledDagger to sleep every night. His father, PearlescentBlackSunshine, is a Black Dragon poet. He writes many poems about FrilledDagger, which makes the hatchling feel a little famous.
