Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It loves watching the reflection of stars in the water.

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.

Royal Blue is strictly nocturnal and refuses to go out during the day, not even if he is tempted with food. Blue enjoys watching the stars float on the surface of a small lake a few miles from the cave, and with his new wings, he can take himself there in almost no time. Blue can be a bit brash and overbearing at times, especially when his pride has been hurt somehow. He is extremely loyal to his tamer, though, and will do what he can to please her.
