Base Class: Ranger
You've formed a Connection to the Dragons of Old, being given an egg to raise since childhood.
Beginning when you claim this subclass, the Egg has finally hatched
The Wyrmling grows with you, gaining power as you do, and one day growing to a rideable size over time, and even, if it lives long enough, becomes a full fledged Dragon.
Consider where you found your egg, and your backstory tied to it.
When choosing this subclass, if you are not a member of Vegapunks force, or the Celestial Dragons, they may hunt you down for the dragon.
