Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. Its belly is bright red and it is most active in the evening.

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.

Forgchris hates the winter solstice season. Always around the holidays his mummy is busy with bringing joy to all the hatchlings, robbing him of her special attention. While this is a little bit egocentric one can hardly blame him: he is just a hatchling after all.
