A hatchling neross dragon and the egg they hatched from.
After about 2 months of gestation, a dragon lays their eggs, and the hatchlings inside continue to develop. When first laid, the eggs will be solid dark grey colours. It's in this period that the dragons’ affinity will begin to fuse with them, determining (with a mix of their parents genetics), their appearance, and in turn, the eggs appearance as well. After about 4 or so months, the hatchlings inside will begin to break free.
Dragons are considered hatchlings after they... well, hatch from their eggs. Hatchlings are physically rather independent. They learn to walk within a few hours and are even known to be able to hunt and kill small creatures. Clumsily. While they are physically quite capable, that's only compared to some other races at this age. Dragons still require their parents or guardians to raise and feed them, and so hatchlings have a natural instinct to stick close.
Hatchlings have tiny horns, ears, and in general, many of their features will appear 'stubby'. Their tails, necks, legs and bodies are also much shorter. These features grow as the dragon ages. Similarly, some of their body colours, particularly markings, will also appear more faded than their adult counterparts. They will also darken as the dragon ages.
