Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon... except for the tangle of dangerous-looking vines surrounding it...

Now there are even more vines. Perhaps something is happening?

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.

In the royal estate of the southern lands, there lives a gardener who is in charge of the royal flower and vegetable beds. The poor man is always confused to why the carrots are always crushed, the daisies are always destroyed, and the radishes are always ripped apart. Unknown to the gardener, he has himself a little foe. Tujo, as the vine dragon calls himself, swore a vendetta against the gardener after he chopped off Tujo's very important reproductive organs when he was weeding. Unable to get any bigger without his precious parts, Tujo stayed at his puny size and was left to wallow in his anger. Tujo haunts the castle grounds, intending on ruining the gardens and taunting the gardener for however long he lives.
