Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It has long toes, and likes to wander around on lily pads.

And look! Its toes have grown longer and developed webbing! 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.

StrangeWaterWalker is a Water Walker Dragon hatchling with a unique personality. Unlike most Water Walkers, he spends much of his time away from his home swamp. Instead, he likes to play and sleep in the dry cave with all of the other hatchlings. His parents, LovelyWaterWalker and DaringWaterWalker, don't really understand their hatchling. Instead of learning to relate with their son, they just let him do whatever he likes without question.
