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.

Blachmagyk is not that fond of most of the young hatchlings. She finds them to be arrogant and self-centered, though she doesn't feel it to be their fault. Instead she would much rather spend her time with her half-brother, Barter, whiling away the hours pondering answers to the riddles the two devise for each other.
