Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. Its eyes glow brightly at night, and it enjoys attacking insects and small animals.

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 is a very sweet little black hatchling; at least, if he doesn't chew of your arm. For the majority of his life, Bite was something of an unknown. His parents were complete strangers to the cave, and he was one of the first abandoned eggs to be brought in. When frozen, he managed to work his way up the hierarchy of the eternal-hatchlings.  However, the sometimes cruel leader of hatchlings, Cry of the Night, refused to name this dragon on he gendered, something which took many years. Although he has since become Cry's right-hand dragon, he still holds much of the hostility from his shunned years.
