Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It likes to perch on the high branches of the taller trees and look longingly up at the sky.

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.

Poor Leavey One was frozen so there could be more room in the cave for speckled eggs. Oh Leavey One was named after Oh Lavva One, who is her role model. Everyone likes Oh Leavey One; she is sweet and tiny. Sometimes dragons step on her, but she is like jello, and springs back to life!
