Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It’s very light and enjoys bouncing all around.

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.

Mergencie is the baby of the cave. Rika found the egg with less than three days to live outside of her cave. She quickly rushed the egg to town for help. A short hour later, Mergencie broke cautiously out of the shell and joined Rika's family.
