Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It has bright blue eyes, and is as clumsy as any other hatchling, but it never seems to get injured.

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.

Lil Whitecoat is an ingenious little hatchling who is always mixing together herbs, trying to create medicines. His goal is to find cures for many horrible diseases. While it is unclear whether or not he will succeed, one thing is for sure; this hatching has a big heart! When he isn't working with herbs, he tends to the needs of other injured dragons.
