Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It can fit right in your palm.

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.

Dragon Fry wants to be the world's greatest chicken hunter someday.  He practices jumping on and attacking baby chicks who wander into his cave every day. His dreams are unlikely to be fulfilled, since like most pygmy hatchlings, he is not even close to large enough to be able to take down a chicken on his own.
