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.

Candystripe is Candytail's son. It is unknown who his mother is, but he appears with his father every christmas. It is unknown how long it will take him to become full grown due to the fact that his father is over 1000 years old.
