Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It has long toes, and likes to wander around on lily pads.

And look! Its toes have grown longer and developed webbing! 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.

Chikpoke's name simply means "small." He spends his days tagging along after Mizu and avoiding the larger water dragons, although he does have a tenuous friendship with Nalli. Unlike his mentor, he is fascinated with humans, but he has sense enough to observe them from a safe hiding place.
