This hatchling appears to be... dead?

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.

Babette may look young and delicate, but don't be fooled. This 'young' dragon is over 300 years old, and is also one of the oldest members of TheNightMother's Brotherhood. She uses her child-like looks and apparent innocence to lure her victims away from the other dragons, then with the speed of deadly quicksilver, she cuts their throats and they fall dead to the ground. Another soul for her unholy matron.
