Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It is very aggressive, and has brilliant turquoise markings all over its body.

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.

SpitfireDream is a typical Spitfire Dragon hatchling. He is very angry and territorial. He likes to scorch other dragons, even his own parents, with the blue flame he is just learning to use. His parents, especially his father ViciousSpitfire, just beat and berate him all of the time. So SpitfireDream is being shaped by his upbringing to be even more like a typical dangerous Spitfire, fierce and vicious.
