Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It’s brightly colored and chirps quite often.

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.

ThePinkLady is a delicate hatchling who tends to hang around the adult dragons for protection against the rougher more boisterous hatchlings. She is also a terrible little tease and will go to great lengths to flirt with the older male dragons and will often convince them to part with a bit of their prey.
