October 11 - Baby Dragon

"Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten."

~ G.K. Chesterton

At what age do you stop calling something a "baby" when it lives for a thousand years?

I feel that for anything long-lived, it's all about the mid-years.  You age up to a point where your organs are large enough to support your system and don't deteriorate.  When that system finally starts to fail, you enter the elder years - when your organs can't repair damage fast enough anymore.

So this little guy must be just a few months old ...

This is another design shared by Marina Filatova from her collection of double-stuffed creatures.  Double-stuffing is a bit of a finger burner, and my small pump is not giving consistent air - I think I was breathing flames at one point.
