Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It spends its time pouncing on insects.

And look! It has grown wings! It must be close to maturing. It is also now covered in brightly colored stripes.

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.

Blue Hazel Tiger loves to sit near the water. He plays with his other stripe friends and can always run back to his parents if needed. Although he is forever young, he acts like an adult. He helps the new hatchlings learn how to hunt better and he always pokes the eggs trying to get them to hatch. Some of the dragons find him annoying because if he isn't by the water he is up to something.
