Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It has a large, shield-like object at the end of its tail that it uses for protection.

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 young guardian dragon calls himself Sir Knight Crisper, though he's known to everyone else as "The Halo of Destruction", referring to his cute exterior and destructive, contentious personality. Halo fancies himself the strongest, most important hatchling in the cave. Chaizin, the other guardian hatchling and true leader of the hatchlings, pays little attention to the small nuisance and treats him with the indifference he would show a fly. Consequently, Halo despises Chaizin and tells any dragon who will listen tales of his brutality. Chaizin of course disapproves of this and Halo often sports bruises and blackened eyes as a testimony of his fake stories.
