Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. Its scales are a radiant off-white color.

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.

Mbabane is a Christmas dragon. He prefers talking to people about what they wish for come Christmas than be mired in romantic drama on Valentine's Day. Also, February is much colder than December, so it's an excuse to sleep through the holiday. He's practical like that. Mbabane resides in a tropical forest with a troop of ribbon dancers, with whom he learned the deeper quirks and histories of various winter holidays. They, in turn, enjoy his curious presence.
