Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It always seems to be hungry.

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.

Taishokukan is always hungry. He eats so much, but never gains any weight. He eats more than any adult harvest dragon would even dream of eating. He hardly does anything but search for food. Taishokukan will eat anything he can find, meat, berries, fruit and some times even trash if he cannot find anything else.

His name means big eater.
