Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It has long toes, and likes to wander around on lily pads.

And look! Its toes have grown longer and developed webbing! 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.

TinyWaterWalker is a very small Water Walker Dragon hatchling. Even for her species, she is very small. She has a big personality and a happy temperament though, and is always joking or playing with friends. Even though she sometimes has to mentally shout to keep an adult dragon from stepping on her, she is brave and confident. She is friends with most of the dragons in her cave, and almost all of the hatchlings. She's so sweet and funny that even grouchy hatchlings like her.
