Aww... It’s a cute baby drake. Its dark colors resemble the night.

And look! It has grown wings! It must be close to maturing.

Young drakes 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 marks the beginning of maturation. At this point they are often capable of hunting on their own.

A particular creature, this hatchling can't seem to make up its mind about whether it feels like being social or reclusive. It can frequently be spotted at the edge of town, and while it can be coaxed closer with the promise of food, it inevitably flits away before anyone can get too close. The locals suspect he is the result of a breeding between a day glory and a night glory, which would explain its conflicted behavior.
