Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It keeps trying to catch fish in a nearby pond.

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.

Salt is asleep most of the time, probably because he follows around the mischievous Hush, who delights in putting other dragons to sleep.

He was never active much when he was expected to continue a normal maturity cycle, often just laying around in a ball, and so he earned the nickname "Pile of Salt on the Ground." He gets along well with the other hatchlings, especially the females, but as they grow up and leave him behind their friendships die away.

He often longs for a companion, just someone to spend the rest of his life with, but he doubts he'll ever get the opportunity.
