Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It’s small, but already likes to play-fight.

And look! It has grown spikes! 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.

Because his mother is a Magma dragon, Cottonball seems to like heat more than the average Tri-Horn Wyvern. He can also store heat more efficiently and gets less cold. His wings aren't terribly strong, but he can fly for upwards of thirty minutes before getting tired. He likes to eat fish, but will also go hunting for small mammals when he is in the mood.
