baby dragon

Freshly hatched serpent

A baby dragon is a young dragon, the newly hatched or juvenile form of the mythical fire-breathing creature.

The term appears in fantasy fiction, games, and children's media, where baby dragons are often portrayed as cute or tameable compared to their fearsome adult forms: She found a baby dragon egg in the cave.

In gaming contexts, baby dragons may be collectible creatures or early-stage evolutions.
