Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It must be very shy since it keeps hiding from you.

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.

Cajay's decision to remain a hatchling forever was on impulse; after hearing about the possibility that a dragon could be frozen, Cajay jumped at the chance and was frozen mere minutes after hatching. Now, knowing more about the possibility of becoming an adult like cavemate Makice, Cajay often wishes the spell could be reversed.
