It’s an undead baby dragon, produced by a failed magical spell. It probably would be cute if it weren’t partially decayed.

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.

Under the cover of darkness, this little hatchling has a fondness for stealing various baubles from larger dragons. When encountering smaller creatures or smaller hatchlings, she will lash out aggressively.
