Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It spends its time pouncing on insects.

And look! It has grown wings! It must be close to maturing. It is also now covered in brightly colored stripes.

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.

Gurasuhoppa loves to bounce and hop, especially through fields of really tall grass. She is very good at hiding in the grass due to her coloring, but she only does that if she needs too, like when a hunter comes by or maybe a predator since she is still just a hatchling. Since she is always bouncing, her legs have become very powerful and she can jump really high, higher than any other hatchling in the cave.

Her name means grasshopper.
