Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It has a pink cloud that follows it everywhere. You seem to be having more difficulty concentrating since it arrived.

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.

When it was discovered that young dragons were changed by touching the Ice Under the World, never aging further but going quite mad, Oa Bagil offered to be the test subject in a study done by the Oa clan.

Now the unfortunate hatchling lives down below, surfacing occasionally to make cryptic remarks that are as close as his mad mind can come to explanations.
