Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon... except for the tangle of dangerous-looking vines surrounding it...

Now there are even more vines. Perhaps something is happening?

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.

One day Little Ivysaur quietly followed another alt vine through a mysterious damp tunnel. It was a long tunnel, but she kept quiet because she did not want to get in trouble with the Taxa, adult alt dragon. When they surfaced from the ground, the tunnel filled with water behind them, sealing them in a strange world. Taxa finally sensed the hatchling's presence and reluctantly took it exploring with her. In the new world, a vine-dragon-like creature followed them around and would only say one word: "Venusaur". The vine-creature doted on Taxa and treated Little Ivysaur like its child, apparently thinking they were the same species. After the vine-creature introduced Taxa to other vine-creatures that only said "Ivysaur", she dubbed the small vine dragon 'Little Ivysaur' because the similarity between the hatchling and the creatures was amazing. To this day Taxa and Little Ivysaur are stuck in the land with shocking rodents and the clingy vine-dragon-like creature only known as Venusaur.
