Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon.

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.

Vauri is very happy to be frozen. No one knows how he got frozen, but he loves staying frozen, never to become an adult, or, that's what he says. Really, he is sad. He will never have the full powers of an adult, never to go to battle, never to fly properly and never to breed or have children. He is an adopted child of Sauami and Pinkae.
