Introduction

This guide aims to provide an overview of the attachment possibilities that there are on Wyrm Hatchlings with a view to helping developers of accessories and clothing for dragons.

This guide only covers Wyrm Hatchlings only. Wyvern Hatchlings, Wyrmlings, Dragons and Wyverns use different attachment points and animation overrides. These are discussed in other guides.
