Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. Right after hatching it excitedly hurried into the water.

And look! It has gotten larger and gained vibrant red markings! 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.

Affectionate and cheerful, this female has inherited the generous nature of her Christmas dragon mother. Understanding better than most that giving is better than receiving, she dedicates much of her time to helping out others. But while she's kind to everyone, she's especially kind to one charming young male in a particular--the helpless romantic Knotfin, another Redfin hatchling who's constantly trying to impress her with his dancing. Oh, if only he'd realize she'd much rather talk with him than watch him drive himself crazy trying to impress her!
