Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It has long toes, and likes to wander around on lily pads.

And look! Its toes have grown longer and developed webbing! 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.

Lilzeeo is a nice hatchling who caught the PPS disease shortly after he was rescued from a disease-riddled swamp he had been forced to call "home", though he hated the place. Now he is happy with the other hatchlings of the Lightning Clan.
