Lutjanus hatched to a single parent, a Mudwing named Chelydra, after their egg was abandoned on a beach. He had been on a fishing trip and, crazily enough, stumbled across their egg lying in the sand. The Mudwing wasn't fond of the idea of raising a Seawing, all on his lonesome, so the two waited.. and waited.. and waited. After realizing that, truly, the dragonet that had hatched was left behind, he begrudgingly brought them back to the Swamplands. For years, until they were old enough to think for themself, Lutjanus lived with him.

When the time came, they left and never looked back, knowing he'd be better off without them. The two never really bonded and, as such, neither regretted the moment they parted.
