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.

Cry is the unofficial leader of the hatchlings of her cave; the adopted child of two of the most prominent dragons in the cave, she is well respected by even the adult dragons. She can often be heard asserting himself over the other hatchlings with a demanding cry.

However, Cry is very rough, often getting into fights to maintain her authority. Doted on since hatching, Cry is used to getting what she wants.
