Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It has brightly colored fins on its back.

And look! It has grown larger fins! 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.

CrimsonSong is a red Dorsal Dragon hatchling, who loves to hunt. She often catches rabbits or small rodents, which she will bring back to show her father, DarkCrimsonFin, before she eats them. Her father is so proud of her hunting abilities, and has started to help her learn all he knows about hunting.
