Dagron creatures are usually fluffy, serpent-like fellas with dragon-like front feet.
-no, they don't breath fire, but depending on the subspecies they can be resistant to fire, ice or accids-

Baby dagrons are extra fluffy, with cotton-soft fur, except for the fully aquatic subspecies, because they live underwater their entire life and too much fluff would just get in the way.
They are very energic and very playfull, and sometimes lack the sense of danger when discovering their surroundings and for them new things like plants and animal species.
They are usually also very clumsy and easy to get in troubles.
Despite them being aeral or water subspecies, they can't fly or swim at all, untill they change out of their "baby coat" after they're 1 year old, with exception for the fully aquatic subspecie that hatches underwater.
No matter what subspecies they are, they spend most time around the nest or nearby the nest when the parents are out hunting.
They usually go on the "discovery journeys" with one or both of their parents (because they really are easy to get stuck in places and would try eating poisonus things or approach dangerous animals if they were left by themselves)


Nesting behaviour and growing up:

Adult (parent) dagrons usually create lifelong bonds with their partner and BOTH parents take care of their babies. The nests are made on rocky surfices like cliffs or in caves. That goes for the fully aquatic subspecie too (they nest underwater on rocky reefs or in caves).

The nesting pair builds their nest together and they use branches and twigs for the nest's skeleton, sometimes they use rocks or bigger loggs for the edges of the nest, to make it more sturdy. The inside of the nest is filled with liches, moss, leaves, fur and feathers or any soft material they could find and collect to make a soft bedding.

Females usually lay 3 eggs. Both parents then take turns sitting on eggs and hunting for each other untill the eggs hatch (incubation takes about 48 days), and then they take turns in guarding the babies and hunting for them untill they can be trusted to be left alone in the nest and wait for their parents nicely (till they are about 3 months old).
The babies won't ever leave nest in their first 3 months and after that they only leave nest when one of the parents goes with them, untill they are 2 years old.

The parents take care of the babies till they are 5-6 years old as full grown juveniles. Then the juveniles either leave the nest and take care of themselves or still tag along for some time (that's the usual aeral subspecie behaviour, since they live in smaller or bigger flocks), but they already care for themselves.

Young dagrons reach adulthood when they are 10 years old.
Adult dagrons usually start searching for a mate after they're over 15 years old, and even if they manage to find one quickly, they take time (2-3 years, sometimes even longer) to create strong bond between them, before they decide to build a nest and raise their own offsprings.

Ps: for those who already own an adult male and a female dagrons of the same subspecie and want them to become mates and have family, I can make the usual nest -with 3 babies- for you (for half the price)
