Description
Thought I would upload these separately for a better view c:Hatchling ice dragons are born during the spring, when prey items are most abundant. Their bodies are actually capable of producing their own heat at this age, and their parents bring them food in an attempt to provide as much energy to the young as possible before winter. The ice dragons are born with underdeveloped, bat-like wings and a reptilian tail, but their bodies are covered with fur and feathers from birth. The energy from their food will be mainly converted to fat, a coat of fur, and warm, downy feathers on their wings. These will all be necessary to survive their first winter, as they are capable of neither flight nor magic before their first year is over. They wrap themselves with their tail and wings to keep warm. Their fur is white or nearly white to help camouflage them in the snow, and their eyes are dark colored to shield them from light reflected off the white terrain.
