Damage Threshold X: All Dragons have a Damage Threshold. They only take damage from sources if the amount of damage equals or exceeds their Damage Threshold.

To determine the Dragon's Damage Threshold, consult the table labeled "How strong are they?" below.

If you fail your save, you take 1d6 COG damage each round you can see/be threatened by the Dragon. If the amount of COG damage ever equals or exceeds your Cognition (COG) score, then you become overcome with fear and must flee at the first opportunity. You also gain the Conviction, "I will never fight that Dragon again, as long as I live."
Breath Weapon: All Dragon's Breath Weapons do 6d6 fire damage, save for half, and are only usable every 1d4 turns. They strike a 60' cone, and have a 60' range.
Flight: All Dragons can fly, unless otherwise listed that they cannot. They cannot hover.
Specific Death Condition: Unless killed in a specific way, the Dragon will return to life after a certain time. For more details, see below.

It is possible for a Dragon wyrmling to be abandoned, but very rarely, in the same way its odd to find a human child alone in the woods. There is a 10% that the Wyrmling is abandoned, its parent was killed, or it is lost and cannot find its way back home for some reason. However, there is an 80% chance that an Adult Dragon is right around the metaphorical corner, and will be here either soon, or the child knows how to get to them. There is also a 10% chance that this Wyrmling's parent is not only alive, but a Great Wyrm, and very, very close.
2: Young Adult. Damage Threshold 6, Atk Claw 1d8+2/1d8+2 + Bite 1d10. This Dragon is a young adult, newly mature but still fresh with youthful ambition and a lack of sense. It is about the size of an elephant.

A Dragon that breathes fire fit to melt stone and reduce fortresses to ruin. A Dragon that brightens the night with its glory and blocks out the sun with its wings. A Dragon that snatches stars from the Heavens to serve as handmaids. A Dragon that remembers the first moments of Creation, a Dragon that feels the divine spark in the center of its flesh, of fire untamed bubbling within. A Dragon that makes Divinity tremble. Do not fight this Dragon, for if you challenge it, you have already lost.
