Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It is very active and playful.

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.

An easily frustrated young male, this hatchling is eager to win, but not half so eager to lose; whenever defeated in anything he runs off and sulks, wedging himself beneath piles of rocks and refusing to come out until his mommy is sent to fetch him.
