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.

Faster than a speeding arrow, able to leap tall mountains in a single bound, more powerful than a falling boulder, it's...uh, no it isn't, it's just Darkling. He's not sure what an arrow is, but he's pretty sure it's faster than the other hatchlings, which he isn't. Able to leap tall mountains... no, he can't even leap to a Stone Dragon's shoulder, unless it's from above, which by the way, they don't like. More powerful than a falling boulder... he's not sure how to test this, but it would probably hurt, anyway. So, for anyone who wonders why he spends so much time playing Super Whatever... cause it's fun. That's why.
