Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It has large frills on its head.

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.

Calopsa, before the great predicament that befell all frills around the world, was regarded as a commoner; dull and powerless. Not only that, but she only has half a frill, which caused her great shame, and forced her freezing. But after the frills spontaneously all lost the ability to breed, she received the status of being one of the few frills in existence. She took advantage of this, exploiting dragons whenever she felt the urge to do so. Some say that Tercaw sitting on her was not an accident, but rather a quite deliberate event.
