Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It perfectly depicts spring weather.

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.

Norran, despite gentle looks, pink frills, and small stature, is rather a bully—learning that he was forever a hatchling turned his temperament sour. He loves to nip at other hatchlings and conjure up his strongest spring breezes when they're trying to learn how to fly. He knows better than to annoy the adults of the clan, picking on the more helpless, younger dragons.
