Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It has a large, shield-like object at the end of its tail that it uses for protection.

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.

Absolutely is an incredibly confidant hatchling with a daredevil streak. He will often lead the other hatchlings on exploratory trips and refuse to turn back before he has found something interesting. When away from the others, Absolutely follows his mother just about everywhere, and enjoys sleeping on her head.
