Clutch #1 Shy’s Imperial Court Hatching
*Important note: Shy would like to emphasize that these Imperial Court dragons, while technically clutch mates, were based off the genetics of Clan Vecira. They are NOT related to each other. He expects them to grow up, become strong, confident dragons, and breed.
Traditional court dragons have been born crestless and hornless, growing into their features during their fledgling years. The Imperial Court is also born crestless, but they have small teeny tiny nubbings that will go through an incredibly itchy phase, and then into antler like horns.
** Dragons from the first Imperial Clutch are “medium sized”, from 10″ – 14″ at the shoulder. The image below is the original, and has not been resized. Please use with discretion. Except for Xiao Shy’s. Apoleoth is teeny tiny, like his bond.
