Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. Its wild bursts of magic leave ice crystalizing all over the place.

And look! It’s grown a thick mane and can now control the surges of magic! 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.
