Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It likes to perch on the high branches of the taller trees and look longingly up at the sky.

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.

LunarCult is a Canopy Dragon hatchling. She has been a member of the Flower Cult since she first hatched. The Flower Cult chooses mates for its members. LunarCult will be given a mate when she grows up, but she doesn't really care for the other hatchlings in her cult. LunarCult is the oldest and, she thinks, the best hatchling in the group.
