Appearance:
Dragon Wyrmlings are the youngest and smallest form of dragons, usually no larger than a large dog. Their scales, though still developing, show the distinct color of their type—brilliant blue, fiery red, shimmering gold, or another hue. Their eyes are large and curious, filled with the promise of their future power.

Behavior:
Wyrmlings are highly inquisitive and often display a mixture of playful curiosity and fierce territoriality. They are still learning about their abilities and the world around them, making them unpredictable. Despite their small size, they can be aggressive if they feel threatened or if their territory is encroached upon.

Abilities:
Even at this young age, Dragon Wyrmlings possess a breath weapon unique to their species, whether it be fire, ice, lightning, or poison. They are also capable of flight, though their wings are not yet strong enough for long distances. Their claws and teeth are sharp, and their scales provide decent protection.

Habitat:
Wyrmlings are usually found in the same environments as their adult counterparts—caves, forests, mountains, or underwater lairs. They often remain close to their hatching sites, which are typically well-hidden and guarded by one or both parents.

Development:
As they grow, Dragon Wyrmlings rapidly learn and adapt, both physically and mentally. They undergo several stages of molting, where their scales harden and their powers strengthen. This period is crucial for their survival, as they are most vulnerable during these transitions.

Role in the World:
Dragon Wyrmlings can serve as early adversaries or allies to adventurers. Their lairs often contain minor treasures and clues to greater draconic secrets. Interactions with wyrmlings can foreshadow encounters with more formidable dragons, providing rich storytelling opportunities.
