Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It is so full of energy that you have a hard time keeping up with it.

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.

SurlyWhipTail is a trouble making Whiptail Dragon hatchling with a tough attitude. There isn't another dragon in the cave, hatchling or adult, that has gotten into trouble as much as she has. She's constantly angering one adult or another, and after they talk to his parent, she often gets whipped by her father's tail. Her only friend in the whole cave is SempiternalSunset, who is only active at night. So, during the day SurlyWhipTail just causes trouble for other dragons.
