Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It is so full of energy that you have a hard time keeping up with it.

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.

Bluestrike didn't want to be frozen, but he was so weak even moons after his hatching that his father ordered it. He was too weak to protest, and so it was done. Although he still doesn't like the fact that he will never be able to have hatchlings of his own, he has adapted quite well. He loves to race the other hatchlings, and he shares his father's competitive streak, much to the others' dismay.
