Cazaui hatchlings are surprisingly large given their egg size; wrapped tightly within the shell, they often need a day or two to completely stretch out and unkink themselves. Once upright, hatchlings immediately start looking for food in order to begin growing, and should be kept away from Keep gardens so they don't strip the vegetation to the ground. Frilled cazaui begin to whistle even within their eggs and continue it all through their lives, each cazaui identifiable by their unique sequence of notes.
Cazaui are generally friendly to anyone or anything that isn't noticeably a threat, but are still alert for danger and quite adept at protecting themselves and their family. Frilled cazaui live within jungles, where the female's colouring blends in when she needs to lay eggs or protect a nest. The male's much brighter colouring is thought to be both a threat display and a distraction, leading predators to chase him instead of discovering the female. Living in an area with more abundant vegetation has led the frilled cazaui to grow larger on average than its spiked cousin. When in an area where frilled cazaui live, magi have reported beautiful serenades whistled at dusk and dawn, thought to be a way to say good night and then to greet the sun.
