Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. Except for the occasional flicker of movement, it remains inanimate.

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.

ChildOfStone, like most Stone Dragon hatchlings, doesn't move around much. But his mind is always, always going. He spends long hour engaging in conversations with all dragons and humans nearby. His favorite person to converse with is his best friend, RoyalAmethyst the purple Dorsal Dragon hatchling.
