− | + | Kulingile was born out of a too-small egg. As a result, he came out small, without his air-sacs being inflated, and unable to fly. Many of the aviators present for his birth, including [[Jeremy Rankin]], wished to euthanize the dragonet but [[William Laurence]] would not allow it. As none of the more senior aviators would attempt to harness Kulingile, [[Demane]] took responsibility for him and soon became his "captain" though few had hope that he would be able to fly or hunt for himself. Demane named the dragonet "Kulingile," which mean "All is well" in his native tongue. | |

Despite the grim predictions upon his hatching, Kulingile survived longer than expected. He ate a great deal and put on a lot of weight, making him a burden for [[Caesar]] to carry. While he was trying to pull out [[Temeraire]] from the Bunyips' trap, Kulingile's air sacs inflated. [[Dorset]] announced that Kulingile had been eating so much because he would become a heavyweight dragon, and compared him to a [[Regal Copper]]. Shortly after the inflation of his air sacs, Kulingile began to fly--though in an irregular fashion. After this pronouncement, the aviators who had initially wanted Kulingile killed became jealous and resentful of Demane, but the dragon had already formed an attachment with the boy. | Despite the grim predictions upon his hatching, Kulingile survived longer than expected.
