Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It has a large, shield-like object at the end of its tail that it uses for protection.

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.

To some visitors to the cave, Kellett appears to be one of the less intelligent of Leilin's hatchling brood. He will sit staring at the same object for hours on end, and sometimes seems completely confused by the everyday routine going on around him. And yet, Kellett is by no means brainless. In fact, he displays an odd intuition for knowing how things work and fit together. Show him a drawing of a creature at rest, and he will know how it moves, what it eats, and the nature of its habitat; pieces of human machinery such as catapults are similarly no mystery to him. The only thing that will faze Kellett's careful intelligence is the emotions and actions of the dragons around him. He can analyse anything... save for the contents of another dragon's mind.
