Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It’s clear that night is its favourite time.

And look! It has grown wings and turned red on its back! 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.

No one knows this dragon's real name. When he was a young hatchling, The Blood Red Prince decided that the title should be his name, as to impress a future mate. This soon went to his head and he now believes himself to be royal and hides away in his own cave, going outside only at dusk to gather food and to let the patterns on his back grow and spread. His childish game has made him a child forever.
