Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It enjoys swimming in a nearby pond.

And look! Its fins and tail have gotten bigger, and you’ve moved it to a larger body of water to swim in. 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.

This hatchling always insists on being called Guardian of the Bicycles. No one knows why. In fact, no other dragon has ever even heard of a bicycle. Some suspect the caretaker knows about them, but if she does, she gives no indication. If asked about his title, this water hatchling will say that he just really likes bicycles and wants to protect them with his life. Any dragons who meet him can rest assured that if there is ever a bicycle in danger, this little hatchling will protect it.
