Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. Its eyes glow brightly at night, and it enjoys attacking insects and small animals.

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.

Deviou is a cunning, sly hatchling. He uses his scale color as a natural camoflauge, skulking about in the shadows of the cavern walls. His excellent eyesight, a characteristic shared by all members of his species, allows him to tell exactly where a dragon's eyes are facing, and exactly when the opportune moment for him to lunge out and nick a piece of treasure from a hoard is.
