Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. Like with the egg, time feels inconsistent around this hatchling.

And look! It has gotten 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.

This hatchling likes capturing bugs to read their future. He particularly loves capturing caterpillars, as the images of them becoming beautiful flying creatures are fascinating. He draws images of what he foresees and catalogues them with images of what he captured. His records are a great resource for any who also study the creatures.
