Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It has a strong odor of turpentine, and your hand burns when you touch it.

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.

Stinks is a humble and hard working hatchling. In fact he works as the clan's bee keeper, small enough to reach inside the hive to get the honey out and smelly enough to drive the bees away, so they won't sting him.
