The Shades reaches out to touch the Material Plane from the 5th dimension, and when it does, shadow portals appear in this world. These are the Shade Maws, terrifying moving shadows that swallow the light. When the Shade Maw senses a victim it will send out its vicious tendrils, restraining the creature and pulling it into its mouth. If successful, the Shade Maw will envelop the creature, transforming it into a Shade Thrall.

A baby dragon. Wyrmlings tend to stay together with the members of its clutch until reaching adolescence. They will imprint on who ever represents a caregiver for them. Usually this is their mother, but in the absence of a mother it is not unheard of for a wyrmling to imprint on creatures of a different species. If you find a friendly one, take it along as a pet. You never know, you may be able to raise it into your very own dragon! Just make sure it doesn't go hungry... or you could be its next meal.
