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.

This little black dragon sits alone. He is black and sad. The other hatchlings won't play with him, because his green eyes scare them. It's okay, little Black Rains of Night. One day, in the future, another black dragon will come and comfort him. They will become friends, until he kills his friend with his laser green eyes. That's his life, and its depressing.
