Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It keeps trying to give you pieces of its nesting material as a gift.

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.

She desperately tries to become a Nhiostrife, but due to her nonexistent wings, she will never be able to fly or even entertain the idea that she could ever truly become one. She thinks such an outrageous thing will get her closer to her kin. The Nhiostrife hatchlings bully and tease her for this often.
