Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. Its skin is smooth and doesn’t seem to have any color to it.

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.

Queen Thunderwhite is one of the oldest dragons in the cave, despite her being an eternal hatchling. She is very wise and knowledgeable, but also very arrogant and self-righteous. In order to get any advice from her, the dragon asking for it must either be a very trusted friend, or take the advice in the form a cryptic riddle. Thunderwhite is a good leader and quite fair with her judgments, but her very old manners of speech make her both hard to understand, and come off as extraordinarily elegant.
