Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It has large frills on its head.

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.

Zyvr loves birds. He sneaks out in the wee hours of the morning to watch them and stays outside until nightfall, when all the birds have gone to bed. He has become very knowledgeable about birds based on his observations, as well as what he's read in books and learned from other dragons. He's even learned how to imitate a variety of birdcalls; now he only speaks in chirps and squawks, much to the annoyance of his fellows.
