Don't dragons shed their scales eventually anyway?

Derpy whimpers softly while clinging to Veshora.
"But I'm a tiny soft baby! I don't have scawes yet!"

[Veshora]

"Don't worry, little one - I'll help you!" Veshora glances at the pranksters and mumbles something about unneccessary childish behaviour before taking Derpy to the relative safety of acetone and bubble baths.

[Derpy McBlueEyes]

"Yay! Tank you!" Derpy hugs Veshora and gives them a big cheek smooch. "Mwah!"

[Kaderin Triste]

Lol whoops! I am a bad dragon mom who has set a bad example of playing pranks...
;>.>

Also, those glasses are insane.

[Death by Mirrors]

I object! That was absolutely neccessary childish behaviour.

Is derpy ever going to grow?

Helloooooo everyone!

Also, Derpy, you are an adorable li'l cuddlebug. [hugs]

Depending on the lore you follow, dragons can live anywhere between 150-1,200 human years. As such, it is hard to know exactly how long his infancy stage will last.

As his irl self (from a realistic/ imaginationless viewpoint) is just a plushie, that version of himself will never grow. On Trisphee? Maybe, but that's mostly up to the staff artists and item makers. I artwork? Sure, it would be cool to see Derpy drawn as older in future/later artworks.
But will he age and mature despite his small stature? Of course. Over time.
