Cheese Dragons are not actually alive. They are enchanted items of food that act almost identically to dragons. They have no need to eat, but they must “live” in humid environments or they will dry out and harden.

Lactose Free could feel the eyes of the other hatchlings in the nursery burning into her. Why don't they like me She thought. What's wrong with me These thoughts haunted Lactose Free until she grew up. Now that she's older she understands why the hatchlings shunned her. She's different and other dragons don't understand this so they're scared of Lactose Free.
