Baby dragon (pet)


 * See also Dragon (race).

Baby dragons are the highest level Summoning pet, requiring level 99 Summoning to obtain. A baby dragon may be obtained by hatching a dragon egg, dropped by all adult chromatic dragons. The colour of the hatchling will have the same colour as that of the dragon which dropped the egg. Hatchling dragons grow into baby dragons and remain in that stage and grow no further.

It is currently impossible to understand baby dragons. Most pets may be spoken to when the summoner has a Summoning level 10 levels higher than that required to hatch the pet. Since it is not possible to boost Summoning to level 109, these pets cannot be understood. During the quest While Guthix Sleeps, the Stone of Jas boosts a player's Summoning level to 255, but it is still not possible to understand them. Several players, however, claim to have experienced their summoning level to remain boosted after the end of the quest While Guthix Sleeps. If the boost for summoning is at or beyond level 109 for a player with 99 summoning, and whether or not you can understand a dragon pet at that point, has yet to be verified.

Hatchling baby dragons are about half the size of baby dragons and lack the stubs of horns on their heads. Hatchling dragons grow approximately 1% per 15% hunger rate.

Trivia

 * Players used to be able to only have one dragon pet at a time, but on 18 August 2009, with the release of the menagerie room in a player-owned house, players can have all four colours of dragon at the same time. It is possible to obtain more than one dragon egg as a drop.
 * Any type of meat can be fed to the dragon. This is why many of the dragon pet owners fish lobsters or other kinds of fish while raising their dragon to train fishing as well.
 * There is currently a minor glitch where a baby green dragon, when called from a spot where it could get stuck, begins to walk around by itself until called again. This glitch has yet to be fixed by Jagex.
 * Cyrisus also has a pet dragon. He mentions it if you contact him with NPC Contact.
 * Baby dragons can be found at the base of ice mountain inside of a machine, until the completion of Perils of Ice Mountain. However, you cannot attack them.
 * Oddly enough, baby dragons were not graphically updated when the looks of dragons were improved.
