Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It has wings—but no hind legs—and it enjoys flying by the ocean.

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 is not a good flier and never leaves the rocky beach of Lake Dragonjoy. Most of the time it sits on a rock and watches the Water Walkers glide about on the water. Every now and then it looks longingly at the friendly and inviting-looking forest on the other side of the lake, but it is just too far away.
