Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. Unlike the other hatchlings, this one hatched with wings.

And look! Its back legs have become a second set of 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.

Smidgen was named for her nickname, Midge.  A tiny, playful hatchling, Smidgen enjoys playing amongst the clouds and trying to play with Chidori, despite the storm hatchling's flighty ways.  She also enjoys playing with the other hatchlings in the group.
