Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. Its eyes glow brightly at night, and it enjoys attacking insects and small animals.

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.

Gweneth of the Dragcave Fansite fights battles in a way quite different from her black dragon kin. She fights battles with words (in a manner of speaking) instead of with her fangs and claws. Where as other black dragons attack first and ask questions later, she asks questions first and never attacks. She asks why things are the way they are, instead of blindly accepting things for what they are.
