Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. Its eyes glow brightly at night, and it enjoys attacking insects and small animals.

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.

Ebony Eclipse, who prefers to be called simply Ebony, is a textbook tomboy of a dragon. She particularly enjoys sneaking up on the other hatchlings and pouncing on them when they least expect it, hoping that they will start wrestling with her. However, she refrains from sneaking up on Shining Moonglow, knowing that he prefers to avoid potentially violent games and activities. It could also be that she harbors a crush on the silver hatchling, but she would never admit this to anyone.
