The egg faded away completely; in its place there’s a cute baby dragon. It doesn’t seem to have much substance, though.

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.

Nuri is something of a prankster and loves to sneak up on unsuspecting dragons to scare them by appearing and barking loudly. She is a sweet little hatchling who just happens to have a mischievous streak, and if she truly upsets her 'victim', she always makes amends by nuzzling them or offering a gem as an apology. Nuri's body is very light even when corporeal, which makes her very fast in flight.
