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.

Jasi is very mature for her age—she looks after the other hatchlings and keeps them in line, even though she's only a hatchling herself. She'll be the first to advise against sneaking out of the cave at night, and the last one to run away in the face of danger. The other hatchlings can get annoyed with her seeming bossiness sometimes, but the other dragons love and even respect her.
