Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. Despite being as black as outer space, it has a few bright patterns on it.

And look! It has grown wings and its scales have gained beautiful patterns. 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 was growing into a normal dragon when he got very sick. Feverish, he landed in a pasture and lost track of who and what he was.  In his fever, he saw a black cow with white spots nearby and settled on its pattern the way most nebula dragons settle on a particular space phenomenon.

Now Momoo spends his time trying to romance the cow, describing to her how her spots are greater than the most intricate nebula above. The placid cow just chews her cud unconcernedly and lets him ramble on.
