Napalm breath, wings, near indestructible scales

Genetics and Reproduction

About a week after mating the female will lay a group of eggs. This group consists of about two(2) to three(3) eggs. A three(3) month incubation period will follow.

Growth Rate & Stages

A newly hatched dragon, called a wyrmling, lacks the fire-breath associated with these types of dragons. Their wings droop and usual drag the ground until about five(5) days after hatching. It is about this time that the young dragon begins to develop their breath abilities and they learn to fly and hunt alongside a parent.

After about fifteen(15) years, the young dragon will leave the den to create one of their own. By this time they can fully control their fire breath and their scales have harden exponentially.

Throughout its life it will amass gold and treasure, growing its hoard. The bigger the hoard the more likely it is that they will find a mate.
When it reaches adulthood its scales have reached a near impenetrable hardness.

Ecology and Habitats

Mountain caves, forests, or plains are usually where they will bed, but some rest in the Deserts.
