Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon.

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.

HonestWingHeart is a Pink Dragon hatchling who loves his father, HonestMoonHeart. He's almost always following his dad around, helping him with his garden or listening intently to him as he teaches about botany. He sleeps right next to him at night, cuddled up close. HonestMoonHeart isn't as close to his mother, WingedOracle because his mom spends most of her time away from the cave, meditating.
