Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It’s kind of shaky on its feet and enjoys playing in puddles.

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.

Things, as she is nicknamed, is a generous, carefree hatchling who takes after the charming nature of her Valentine mother. She would much rather be exploring the shallow waters than stuck in a cave, aimlessly hoarding gold.
