Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It has a large, shield-like object at the end of its tail that it uses for protection.

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.

Wei Xiao Bi Yin, or Wei for short, loves to help guard eggs. Hyper and silly, he is generally liked by the older guardian dragons. Although it's one of the most adorable things in the world to watch him try to protect his unborn friends, anyone can pick him up and move him. And they do.
