I swear to God above that I had this idea ages ago but didn't have the time to implement it until now. But... HATCHLING SIZES!! I've created a form and a spreadsheet for tracking hatchling sizes. Why do this? Well, mainly for lore purposes and my own curiosity. A few months back I was writing lore of one of my Mirrors rescuing a Wildclaw hatchling. The Mirror carried her by the back of the neck like a kitten, and ran with the hatchling on her back. I also described teenage Mirrors being the same size of the Wildclaw hatchling. But then I was like "Wait, full grown Wildclaws are like twice the size of Mirrors. At 4 IRL days old, would she even be able to lift that hatchling?" And thus this spreadsheet was born. I plan to create charts that track the growth rate of hatchlings by species and gender, as well as figure out the average size by day. I hope to eventually expand to teenagers as well, but right now I'm sticking to hatchlings. I'm hoping to find patterns that indicate growth - does a Spiral have a body that grows faster than its wings? Are Guardians born with wings too small to fly with their weight? When do they get heavy? But to do that, I need raw data. And that's where you guys come in! My hope is that y'all will open up your lairs in one tab and this lovely form in another, and document some babies, so that in a month or so, I can shove some lovely charts at you all. Please? Also, feel free to throw questions and suggestions at me! [b]NOW WITH TEENS![/b] That's right, the teenager form is up and running and we are taking in data! There's also been some edits to both forms, some questions at the end to hint at new things coming!

Next fancy size comparison is comparing newborns to an adult human - I just started working on that, and I may end up commissioning dragon silhouettes so I don't have to draw them.

Added data on my 1st gen Noct
Good luck with your data!

@ShinyLumeo Thank you! You're the very first person! Agh I'm so pleased! Thank you so much!

Bump for the love of data~

Added data with my tundra and skydancer hatchlings:)

@RoseBones Thank you very much! I saw them come in, they came in just as I went to check it. I really appreciate it!

Ah, don't hatchlings grow over time? Their sizes fluctuate according to their ages, I'm pretty sure...

@Nyllei They do! Part of my plan is to chart that growth. The survey asks your hatchling's age :)

@ShadesofFantasy Oh! Okay, that makes sense. I would have known that had I had any hatchlings to put in ;-; but I'm still waiting on my pairs. I'm very stingy with my treasure, so I always breed my fodder.

@Nyllei Haha me too! My last babies grew up right before the chart was ready for them. I tested it by going into the AH and searching for tundra hatchlings. I would have some more, but I don't have enough space rn to breed for fodder
