 Maybe dragon hatchling would be a better name, as it doesn't necessarily comit
the type of protections the creature may have.

 As for the Q, the definition that some may expect (from dictionary.com):

Quet·zal·co·a·tl   Pronunciation Key  (kt-sälk-ätl)
 n. Mythology 

      A god of the Toltecs and Aztecs, one of the manifestations of the sun god
Tezcatlipoca and represented as a
      plumed serpent.

 Which definately doesn't match the dragon idea very much.  OTOH, the creature
isn't really a god in crossfire, so the above definition may not be perfect.
