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.

Fallen Leaf was so named because, well, she fell out of the sky one day. She has no idea how she got there or who she is, but she is determined to find out. She spends her days looking for her family, but always comes right back to Valec and her adoptive family.
