Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It blends into the snow.

And look! It has gotten bigger. 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.

IceMoonz loves to hang out by the water and breathe over it leaving little trails of frost here and there. The beauty of it all captivates him and he is quick to try and get other dragons to gather around him and watch. Like one would look at the clouds and see shapes and animals, he points out the same among the ice. The young dragon cannot wait until he is large enough to cover an entire lake in beautiful frosty patterns.
