It’s not uncommon for young dragons to have fur rather than spines. When a half dozen or more soft-scaled babies are flopped all over each other in a nest, it makes sense to not be too spiky. As they age the fur will shed to make way for scales and spines, though some species do … Continue reading Baby Locks

Sour Hour
No matter how mild-mannered a young dragon typically is, they’re prone to moody swings as they grow and it’s not unusual for a teenage dragon to suddenly become rather grumpy. They can’t help the sudden sour mood. Of course, bad behaviour should be corrected, but no amount of telling them to “cheer up” will change … Continue reading Sour Hour
Overhead
Every autumn, flocks of dragons pass over the moors as they travel to warmer climates. Often Rover can be seen watching them pass, staring silently with his head tilted to the sky. Is he envious? Does he wonder where they go? He makes no attempt to leave the moor. He could, easily. He could walk … Continue reading Overhead
Heard But Not Seen
There is a very rare kind of dragon that lives at the very peaks of mountains, overlooking grand canyons and wide, flat plains. They’re rarely seen and even if someone lives their whole life at the foothills of such a mountain, they may never catch a glimpse of their shadowy neighbour. Easily, though, they will … Continue reading Heard But Not Seen
Pie Alert
Autumn is a time for bounty and fruits and berries, and all the baking and preserving that comes with them, but it is also the time for curious dragon pups to leave their nests and begin their early explorations, hunting for food before the harsh cold of winter claims it all. To have a whole … Continue reading Pie Alert
Autumn Slumber
For a young dragon, there’s no better nap spot than a pile of sun-warmed pumpkins. They can flop for hours over a pile of large gourds and it can be difficult for farmers to rouse them if needed. Sometimes a whole clutch can be found in an especially abundant field, all drooped like kittens over … Continue reading Autumn Slumber
Baby Face
The big eyes of lake dragons can make them look… well, a bit cutesy, some might say. Their huge eyes help them to see in the depths of the lake, of course, but on the surface they can be left dazzled and blinking. Arcis is a full grown dragon but he looks like an infant … Continue reading Baby Face
Umbrella
Some familiars have… unfortunate names. Many are named by excited, giggly children, and that is how we ended up with a dragon named Umbra, short for Umbrella. She was found in the rain, covering her head with her wings as if they were umbrellas and… the name stuck. Familiars can be very sensitive about their … Continue reading Umbrella
Plentiful
It is well known that dragon pups enjoy sweet foods and are often attracted to fruits and berries, but it is always very cute when a dragon’s hoarding instinct kicks in and they decide to hoard autumn’s bounty. It is irresistible to them, and the pups feel compelled to stop whatever they’re doing to gather … Continue reading Plentiful
Hector
Hector is a goofball. Thankfully not in an annoying or troublesome way, but he will find something fun in more or less anything. Crystal balls and any other kind of scrying device are often turned into a moment of humour. Some might get annoyed that he is not using the tool properly, but he argues … Continue reading Hector
