Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. Icicles keep forming on its body, but it doesn’t seem to be bothered by the cold.

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.

Thaw is an extremely fragile dragon who is prone to getting very ill. She always has headaches in the morning and is known to be very grumpy during that period of time. She is too frail to run around, so she sits in the shade watching the other dragons play.
