Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It must be very shy since it keeps hiding from you.

It’s gotten slightly bigger! 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.

Blessed Izzy, nicknamed Izzy, is a Junior Egg Keeper in kiten234's clan.<br/>Izzy loves to play with the newly hatched hatchlings. Since most of them are his size when that young, he doesn't feel in danger of being stepped on. His small size only helps him when he wants to steal snacks for the hatchling babies!
