Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It is white and fluffy, and loves company.

And look! It has gotten bigger! 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.

Urq is a softy and has a lot of big ideas, some say unrealistic ideas, about how to make his community and life in the Pena region better. He is respected and derided in equal parts for his idealism and belief that every problem can be worked out peacefully. He likes making beetles out of pieces of paper, a skill that is not at all useful but admired for the patience and dexterity it takes.
