Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. Its scales give off a beautiful golden gleam.

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.

BrightGoldenWyvernSun is a Golden Wyvern Dragon hatchling. He isn't very bright, or clever, but he is a thief. Or, at least, he tries to steal things, but isn't usually very successful. BrightGoldenWyvernSun loves shiny things, and tries to take every one he sees. He often gets caught trying to make off with part of some other dragon's hoard or some human treasure. As it turns out, most shiny objects are pretty well guarded.
