Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. Its eyes glow brightly at night, and it enjoys attacking insects and small animals.

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.

Jacob is an extremely active young dragon, daring and curious, yet sometimes a bit stubborn. A little underweight, but still just as lovable. He enjoys showing off to the young dragonesses and most of the time succeeding in capturing their hearts. Despite his weight, he is a healthy and active hatchling.
