Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. Its eyes glow brightly at night, and it enjoys attacking insects and small animals.

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.

After annoying the Magi dragon, Loki Orangewings, for the last time, this young dragon found himself under a most unusual curse. Not only is he doomed to remain a hatchling, his roars, hisses, and even his voice have all been replaced by the sound of piano music. Called "Ebon" for short, he has found a way to communicate through music; mimicking songs and sounds from the instrument he takes his name from. When he is happy, his sing a little melody; when he is angry, it will sound as if someone just slammed their fist on the piano keys! (He can even rattle the spines on his back in succession to sound like someone running their hand down the keys.) While he can mimic any sound that can come from a piano (even songs that require two hands to play), he cannot just 'sing' any arrangement he wants right off the bat; like any musician, he has to practice elaborate songs a lot before being able to 'sing' them perfectly.
