Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon... except for the tangle of dangerous-looking vines surrounding it...

Now there are even more vines. Perhaps something is happening?

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.

Tullio is the strongest and largest of the Rain Clan's hatchling spies. He's their fighter and their defender, and works with Cadmium's magic skills to protect his friends. His foster mother, Thorn, has taught him how to use his vines and thorns to defend himself, and his foster father, Emerald, has taught him how to use his teeth and claws for the same reasons. He often fights with the other male hatchlings, but loves the little purple healer, Pansy.
