Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It’s very festively colored.

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.

Snowangel Draco is a frozen hatchling, and loves playing with Little Yulebuck Draco. She (although hasn't proporly gendered yet all dragons of her type are female until further notice) sees Little Yulebuck Draco as a brother, and so they often play with each other and the other frozen hatchlings. She and Little Yulebuck Draco are the ones who guide newly hatched hatchlings around the cave and show them the ropes of how to survive and hunt, except for those who are special, who are raised by Chaosdraco.
