Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It has stubby little wings and loves to play.

And look! Its wings have grown, and it’s even more energetic than before!

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.
