Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It seems aggressive and its skin is burning hot.

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.

Fizurrre lives in a caldera, favoring a diet rich in sulfur. She loves cracks in the ground from which subterranean gasses leak out. She likes to cover a geyser opening with her claw, then release its pressure in a narrow stream at unsuspecting passersby.
