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.

Although he is slightly decayed and has a disturbing tendency to hunt for brains, Larkas Blessing has adopted him and walks him on a little leash at night.
