Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It has long toes, and likes to wander around on lily pads.

And look! Its toes have grown longer and developed webbing! 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.

Lilyhopper is a gentle and friendly Water walker dragon. She floats from lily pad to lily pad, often snaring small water beetles along the way to eat. When she is frightened, she stretches up on her long toes and lets out a long hiss.
