Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It is a deep shade of crimson.

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.

MountainFriend is a friendly and happy-go-lucky Crimson Flare Pygmy Dragon hatchling. She is smaller than most of her hatchling friends, but just as playful and bold. MountainFriend loves the daytime. She just adores how the Sun makes the flowers bloom, or how white fluffy clouds flow softly through the blue sky.
