Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It sleeps a lot during the day and dislikes bright lights.

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.

This hatchling's favorite pastime is spitting. His heads will choose a target and take turns spitting at it, scoring points for how close they come to hitting it. The left head is a little better than the right head. Because of a gap in his teeth, the left head has learned how to hit targets up to ten body lengths away with some level of accuracy. The right head can only hit things reliably up to about eight and a half body lengths away.
