Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It is rather pale in color and likes to sleep while balancing on one leg.

And look! It has grown wings and a large head crest! 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 feels an extreme sense of loyalty towards the clan's human proprietor, a young mage. When others of his kind fell away in times of trouble, Bowlby stood firmly by the mage's side. He says that he would follow his master to the ends of the earth.
