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.

Cobalt Sapphire was an unfortunate hatchling that died of a mysterious illness that took her life. A wizard tried to revive the hatchling, but the spell went wrong and the young one was transformed into a zombie. She is thankful to the wizard for trying, and is not bitter about the life that was lost.
