Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It enjoys swimming in a nearby pond.

And look! Its fins and tail have gotten bigger, and you’ve moved it to a larger body of water to swim in. 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.

Blessed Nessie, nicknamed Nessie, is a Junior Explorer of the Sea in kiten234's clan.<br/>Nessie was named after the Loch Ness Monster. Because she's small, she is easily hidden in the sea near the clan cave. She likes to stay hidden most of the time, as she really does not like people or other dragons. The only person she will surface to see or talk to is her keeper. She owes her life to kiten234, because kiten234 found her egg and nursed it to hatch. She loves her keeper and will do anything for her!
