Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It’s very festively colored.

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.

Nowell's forever-enemy is her tail. No matter how ferociously she chases it, she can't catch it. How those tassels mock her. Sometimes, the grown Christmas dragons will help her by holding her still and putting her tail in her mouth, but that is an unsatisfactory catch in Nowell's mind. Despite being among a group of babies fondly nicknamed the Merry Mob, she is not merry at all when she remembers her tail is still out of reach.
