Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. Its skin is smooth and doesn’t seem to have any color to 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.

Snow-Drop is much braver then one may expect. Her father says she got it from her mother. She has flown through storm clouds for fun, and has never been struck by lightning. She's the most well-liked hatchling in the area, but her infrequent shrieks are terrifying and much louder then an adult's. She is also nosy to the point of harassment, and has gotten some pretty bad magical scars from older, magical dragon, like G'lant.
