Baby dragons are high-level Summoning pets, released on 15 January 2008 with the Summoning skill. Requiring level 99 Summoning to obtain and raise, they are tied with TzRek-Jad, Frosty, the King Black Dragonling, the Queen Black Dragonling, and Rawrvek for the position of highest-level pet. A baby dragon is obtained by hatching a dragon egg in an incubator, found in the pet shops in Taverley and Yanille. The eggs are rare drops from green, blue, red, and black dragons, 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. A Hatchling Dragon advances 1% growth for every 3 hunger changes, which is an average of 10.1% per growth percent. As such, it takes roughly 6 to 8 hours to grow into a baby dragon, depending on whether you feed it or not. Although not always a good idea, a hatchling dragon will not flee as soon as it reaches 100% hunger. Baby dragons will never grow into adult dragons.

It is currently impossible to understand hatchling or baby dragons, even with a +10 Summoning boost from a 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.
