Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. This hatchling seems to be filled with a fell, inner flame.

And look! Its wings have grown, and it’s become rather vicious and wary of others of its kind.

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.

Nokoribi's name means "embers," although he has also given himself the more masculine nickname "Nuke."  He tags along after his father, learning all there is to know about being a hellfire wyvern.  Although he has made some attempt to mimic his sire's manipulative abilities, he lacks finesse as of yet, and normally ends up just provoking a fight.
