Fey Magic.
Hag Dragons are created by powerful hag covens. The Hags enact a ritual using a Dragon egg of any variety to create a twisted abomination much more dangerous than any true Dragon. Once the ritual is complete, the egg hatches and a Hag Dragon wyrmling is born. It may have some features reminiscent of the Dragon egg’s original species, but they are simply a vestigial remnant of the creature's original form.

Timeless.
Unlike other Dragons, Hag Dragons do not age with the passage of time. They would theoretically remain as wyrmlings forever if it weren’t for the uncanny magical abilities they possess. Hag Dragons can only grow up by absorbing the remaining years of other creatures. By making use of their breath weapon, they not only cause other creatures to age rapidly, but allow themselves to grow incredibly fast. Unlike many other creatures, Dragons only seem to get more powerful as they age, so as the Hag Dragon increases its age it becomes incredibly dangerous in a short amount of time. Many Hags seek to exploit this Trait by keeping Hag Dragons young and easy to control, however, once a Hag Dragon is capable of breaking free from its creators it often does so in violent fashion if it was not treated with respect.

Covens.
While Hag Dragons Covens are incredibly rare, it has been theorised that should a group of them ever come together and agree to cooperate, they could form a coven. In much the same way a group of Hags in a coven become powerful in the extreme, a coven of Hag Dragons would surely be capable of Casting earth shattering rituals. Should such a coven ever arise, it could Spell doom for entire kingdoms if left unchecked.

Covens
A coven of Hag Dragons consists of three Hag Dragons in cooperation. When all members of the coven are within 60 feet of one another, they can cast the following Spells by sharing Mana.

→ 3rd level - Animate Dead, Counterspell

Appearance
Young dragons, still in their adolescence, possess sleek, yet powerful bodies. Their scales shimmer with a vivid luster, often more vibrant than their adult counterparts. Their wings, while not fully developed, already exhibit impressive wingspans and are edged with sharp, serrated tips.

Abilities
Despite their youth, young dragons are formidable opponents. They can breathe elements—fire, ice, lightning, or acid—though their breath weapon is less potent than that of an elder dragon. They possess heightened senses, enabling them to detect movement and scent from great distances.

Behavior
Young dragons are curious and adventurous, often leaving their nests to explore the world. They are fiercely territorial, guarding their lairs with cunning traps and fierce determination. Their temperaments vary widely, from playful and mischievous to aggressive and solitary.

Habitat
These dragons can be found in a variety of environments, each adapting to their elemental affinity. Fire dragons inhabit volcanic regions, ice dragons dwell in arctic landscapes, lightning dragons are often seen in stormy mountains, and acid dragons prefer swamps or dense forests.

Lore
Young dragons are often the subject of legends, seen as both harbingers of doom and symbols of power. Their presence is said to bring both peril and opportunity, attracting adventurers seeking glory or powerful allies.

Role in Adventures
Encountering a young dragon can be a pivotal moment for adventurers. These creatures can serve as formidable foes, valuable allies, or intriguing quests as players navigate the complex relationships and challenges posed by these majestic beings.
