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.

Piglion loves to eat pigs. This is confusing to the other hatchlings because they find pigs distasteful and unhealthy. What makes it worse is that he acts and looks somewhat like a pig. He never cleans up after himself, and his sleeping nook is an absolute pigsty. The other hatchlings think he's a tad insane, but then again, insanity is what makes the world go round.
