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.

Darkthorne was born from warrior blood, but before she could grow up, she had to be frozen, for she was going to die very soon. But instead of battling, she likes to wrestle with other hatchlings. So far, she has won all the matches.
