While young he still has many of the advantages of his species. His thick scales are resistant to pain and he seems to be pretty tough in general, frequently suffering quite serious tumbles with only some dizziness. He also boasts hands, aiding his manual dexterity, the fingers of which are tipped with sharp looking claws. His flame has the magical ability to teleport scrolls straight to Celestia, and he has shown that he is capable of producing normal fire as well.
