Having reread Dragon Keeper now, these beings noticed a few more details.
Dragons grow their entire lives, so stunted growth like the dragons have, will naturally correct itself, as the DNA will not include stunted growth. The DNA will instead have wing size in proportion to body length and all such similar ones programmed in. So it is not as much regeneration as it is natural growth.
Since dragons grow all their lives, it is quite natural that they would not grow to be proportionally incorrect, especially since nature would indicate that accidents or poorer years can happen. If food is scarce one year, a dragon will just reduce growth rate for that time, not focus only on growing one part. The poor years near Cassarick led to a lack of growth for the dragons, not malgrowth.

when 'thul write in all italics, it is the lord of the three realms within 'thul speaking. A fairly egoistical, but also somewhat simple-minded dragon. Do not take such posts at face value.
