Wyrmling red dragon

Red dragons are the most covetous of all dragons, even as wyrmlings, though their opportunities for gathering treasure are more limited, making them even more greedy when the chance presents itself. The small scales of wymlings are a bright glossy scarlet, making them easily spotted by predators and hunters, so they generally stay underground and do not venture outside until they are more able to take care of themselves. Toward the end of their young stage the scales turn a deeper red and the glossy texture is replaced by a smooth, dull finish.

Though possessing a few of their elder kin's hereditary advantages, wyrmling red dragons are the least formidable of all forms of red dragons.
