In a nutshell, the Dragon Element constantly bursting from its wings burns the shell around where the element is released. If left unchecked, the burnt scales around its wings could potentially affect its motions while flying, making it dangerous for Barufaruku to use those appendages. In order to make up for this, Barufaruku are known to constantly shed their scales (Much like Gore Magala) in order to replace the old burnt ones with some shiny new scales.
