Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It’s very festively colored.

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.

Guidance to Freedom has always been a rebel. Some dragons are usually annoyed by the little hatchling, marching around with a huge trail of hatchlings trailing behind all chanting, 'We may be small, but we want it all!' Most dragons and humans, though, think this is very cute and can't help giving them some extra food for their cuteness. Guidance to Freedom breaks the marching format to nudge other hatchlings into joining. The secret to stopping their mini-army of cuteness is to simply scratch the leader behind the horns.
