Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. Its skin is smooth and doesn’t seem to have any color to it.

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.

OwlFeathers is a curious Albino hatchling. Unlike the other Albinos, she will creep out during the day, staying in the shadows to prevent the sun from harming her eyes. Sometimes other dragons will glimpse her, but it is a rare event.
