Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It has bright blue eyes, and is as clumsy as any other hatchling, but it never seems to get injured.

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.

Little Snow Bueaty was such a cute hatchling that she had a spell cast over her so that she would stay a hatchling for ever.  She is often found with her father, Snowflame.  He enjoys teaching Little Snow Bueaty all he knows and together they heal the sick and wounded.
