Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It glows with some form of arcane energy.

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.

All-around a friendly juvenile, Opalscale is actually mute. The more impatient dragons he meets will sometimes become irked at his silence, but he, on the other hand, has the patience of a saint; but he can be very sensitive at times, and his feelings can easily be hurt. Like any other hatchling, Opalscales loves play, and meeting new dragons, young and old--but, unlike other hatchlings, he has a suprising knowledge of magic.
