Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It’s very protective of other hatchlings.

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.

"Kar! Kar!" Most of the dragons think this wee one is imitating a crow, but she knows otherwise. She knows full well that crows say "Caw"; she's saying "Kar", and Kar was someone special, a long time ago. Gatekeeper Kar's way of remembering that someone special is to repeat her name over and over again. She knows she will never forget. Guest knows when he hears Kar calling that someone's approaching the cave and that it's time for him to greet them.
