A wyrmling is a dragon that has just hatched from the egg. From newborn to about five years old, a wyrmling is only about two to five feet long. The scales display a distinctive color and iridescence similar to those which will sheathe its body during the fullness of its years. Like its older brothers and sisters, the wyrmling is granted true seeing, immunity to paralysis, immunity to sleep, one or more characteristic elemental damage immunities, and dragon breath attacks. The fledgling dragon compensates for its lack of fear aura, spell-like abilities, and damage reduction that will be afforded at maturity with its small, fast-moving form. Nevertheless, it is a fool who approaches a wyrmling without caution.
