female Vermillion hatchling
Heligre are large when they hatch and only continue to grow until they reach their full adult size in four to five years. This slow growth seems to help keep them from being as clumsy as the hatchlings of similar species, and they'll often begin dancing at young ages, first mimicking their parents then beginning to create their own routines. Heligre hatchlings are active and brave - sometimes to the point of being foolhardy. Fortunately their adults keep a close eye on them and are always ready to step in if a hatchling needs protection. Though they don’t grow their antlers until they reach adulthood, heligre hatchlings are quickly capable of using the fire around their legs in both display and aggression.
edit: tigers with horns apparently. interesting
edit2:
male masked hatchling (so, possible dimorphism?)
