Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It’s very small and makes soft cooing sounds.

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.

Orbrt chatters so much and so inanely that after a speech of sorts, listeners can never remember a single thing about it. The words are coherent, but strung together, they mean nothing. This pipio is the pygmy dragon equivalent of a babbling infant. Some people find this behavior adorable, while others wish he could be housed somewhere he can't be heard.
