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.

Burakku was always a clumsy hatchling. She is still clumsy, nonetheless is able to maintain a healthy life given that she will never grow up to be an adult dragon. Her parents abandoned her because she was too clumsy and would wander off at times, and her parents were overwhelmed with her. She is a happy dragon today and every day, living in the capable hands of her human owner.
