Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It’s very festively colored.

And look! It’s grown a dense mane! 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 likes to review holiday preparations and critique them. He goes beyond the mere aesthetics of them to consider the supply of ingredients for the feast and materials for the decorations, and whether the preparations produced the intended effect. If he finds anything awry, he tries to find out what the problem was and fix it so that it will not happen again.
