Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It has a large, shield-like object at the end of its tail that it uses for protection.

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.

This little hatchling tries so very hard to be like her father, and will often try to gain control of other hatchlings in an effort to protect them. She's not very fast due to how she drags her tail behind her, squealing as she runs, but she has enough energy to keep up with most of the hatchlings in the area.
