Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It sleeps a lot, but when it’s awake, it’s quite a handful.

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.

This fluffy little hatchling got his name from an incident where two bored dragons, having nothing other to do, scooped up the young, sleeping Pillow and started to play catch with him. Strangely enough, he didn't—and still doesn't—mind being used as a ball, as his fur softens all impact and he admittedly enjoys the attention.
