Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It likes hiding under dead leaves and attacking your ankles when you pass by.

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.

Olive is passive and gentle with only a passing interest in hunting for live prey. She will not turn down carrion, however, and can usually devour a corpse the size of a small deer within a few hours. Her gregarious nature earned her many friends, both adult and hatchling alike, and she finds it easy to get along with just about anyone.
