Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It’s very festively colored.

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 hatchling actively tries to get others into the holiday spirit. She will run up to them and perform a cheerleading act, encouraging them to shout with her about the wonderful holiday to be celebrated. She has won prizes for her work in holiday cheering competitions.
