Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It’s chubby and pink with a faint rose-like smell.

And look! It has grown wings and the flower is blooming! 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 little hatchling loves flowers.  She has a taste for bright blooms, so she cultivates them carefully.  Sadly, not many get to see the beauty of her grown blossoms because of her appetite.  She eats the flowers nearly as soon as they open.

She does smell lovely, though.  Unlike most dragons, her breath is always fragrant with a garden-fresh scent.
