'''Baby dragons''' are high-level [[Summoning]] [[pet]]s, [[Update:Summoning!|released]] on [[15 January]] [[2008]] with the Summoning skill. Requiring level 99 Summoning to obtain and raise, they are tied with [[TzRek-Jad]] for the position of highest-level pet. A baby dragon is obtained by hatching a [[dragon egg]] in an [[incubator]], found in the [[pet shop]]s in [[Taverley]] and [[Yanille]]. The eggs are rare drops from [[green dragon|green]], [[blue dragon|blue]], [[red dragon|red]], and [[black dragon]]s, and they can only be obtained by players with 99 Summoning. Consequently, there are four colours of baby dragons: Green, blue, red, and black.

Approximately one hour after being placed in an incubator, a hatchling dragon will hatch from the egg. The hatchling is about half the size of a baby dragon, and must be fed large amounts of [[raw meat]] and/or [[fish|raw fish]] in order to grow into a baby dragon. Based on an observed growth rate of 1% size gain for 15% hunger gain, a hatchling dragon takes approximately 8 hours, 53 minutes, and 20 seconds to grow into a baby dragon. Baby dragons will never grow into adult [[dragon (race)|dragons]]; this is possibly because of issues with size that would be caused by adult dragons following players around.

It is currently impossible to understand hatchling or baby dragons, even with a +10 Summoning boost from a [[Battlefield (Clan Citadels)|Clan Citadel battlefield]].

Players may obtain multiple dragon eggs as drops. However, in order to hatch and raise more than one baby dragon, any existing baby dragons must be stored in the [[Menagerie]] of a [[player-owned house]]. Prior to the release of Menageries, players could only own one baby dragon at a time.

==Trivia==
[[File:Growingblackdragon.gif|thumb|A black dragon hatchling growing into a baby black dragon.]]
* Baby dragons are the only pets that cannot be understood under any circumstances. While the [[chameleon]] and [[monkey (pet)|pet monkey]] both require 90 or higher Summoning, players can speak to these pets by boosting Summoning to 100 or by using a [[monkeyspeak amulet]] or equivalent, respectively. [[TzRek-Jad]] may be spoken to normally, without need for any boosts. Baby dragons were released before it was possible to boost Summoning in any form except via the [[Summoning cape]], so there is no dialogue scripted for them.
* Fully grown baby dragons are tied with the [[sneakerpeeper]] for the title of largest pet; both pets take up 4 squares while all other pets take up 1 square.
* Because baby dragons will eat any type of raw meat, including raw fish, many players who are raising baby dragons will bring them while training [[Fishing]] and feed them the raw fish they catch.
* 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]] and [[Tim]] own pet dragons. Cyrisus mentions his if he is contacted via [[NPC Contact]].
* During [[Perils of Ice Mountain]], some baby dragons can be found powering a furnace with their dragonfire. However, they cannot be interacted with.
* Although most dragons received a graphical update on [[5 July]] [[2010]], pet dragons did not.
* When a pet dragon runs away, it lets out a loud roar.
* Although a hatchling dragon will show up as a yellow dot on the [[minimap]], a baby dragon will not.
