Crimson Flare Pygmy Dragon
Egg Description: This egg is tiny and brightly colored.
Adult Description: Crimson Flare Pygmies are named after their small size and speed. They are fast and love to fly up and down in steep climbs and dives, giving the impression of a flare of color in the sky. These dragons travel in swarms during migration seasons, and are very social. They live in tropical locations or wherever it is warm, and they are often seen near active volcanoes.






Seawyrm Pygmy Dragons
Egg Description: The tiny egg shines like a pearl.
Adult Description: Seawyrm Pygmies are tiny dragons that live by the sea. They mostly fly above the ocean, but occasionally they dive into the water to pick up plankton or tend to their offspring. Hatchlings are born with tiny fins that helps them swim and only live in the water. A Seawyrm Pygmy's mating game consists of a dance in which the two dragons spin above the water then dive to the sea and hunt. Eggs are usually laid in the sand or at the bottom of shallow parts of the sea.






Nilia Pygmy Dragon
Egg Description: This tiny egg is heavier than you expected.
Adult Description: Nilia Pygmies reside mostly in mountainous regions, tending to live in large flocks. They are a curious, hyperactive species; their curiosity, often gets them into in dangerous situations. Despite this, they are wary around other dragons and animals outside their species. They are naturally shy and seek their own kind for companionship. Once the trust of a Nilia dragon is earned though, they are highly loyal critters; sometimes to the point of being annoying.






Misfit Pygmy Dragon
Egg Description: This tiny egg has crazy swirls on it.
Adult Description: Misfit Pygmies are a brightly-colored breed that love to make life miserable for other creatures. When several Misfits group together, it is certain that there is mischief afoot. They do everything they can to tease, causing general mayhem for all. Misfit Dragons will steal food from beneath other dragons noses both for fun, and to fill their bellies. While they are known for their tricks and pranks, they have a rarely-displayed sweet side and will search out little treasures to present to their chosen mate.






Dark Myst Pygmy Dragon
Egg Description: This tiny egg is mysterious and dark.
Adult Description: Dark Myst Pygmies are, despite their dark and gloomy appearance, merry creatures that are usually seen in dark swamps playing among tree branches. These small dragons love humidity, as it keeps their skin well-hydrated, and are most happy when it is raining or foggy. They feed off larvae and insects and occasionally hunt for tiny lizards and frogs.






Swallowtail Dragon
Egg Description: This egg has a very thin shell.
Adult Description: Swallowtail dragons are graceful and quick flyers, much like their namesake bird. They are capable of precise aerial acrobatics, and can reach very high altitudes. Because of this, humans observing these dragons are often astonished at how large they are when confronted up close. A Swallowtail's diet consists of insects and small mammals plentiful in temperate forests. These dragons are also made remarkable by their paperthin wing membranes, which allow light to pass through, creating an astonishing effect on starry nights.






Pillow Dragon
Egg Description: This egg has a velvety texture.
Adult Description: Pillow Dragons are covered in enormous amounts of fur affectionately referred to as fluff. Despite their deceivingly large size, they can still fly even with such tiny wings because their bodies are remarkably light. Pillow dragons have a habit of sleeping for up to eighteen hours a day, waking only in short bursts. During their few waking hours, they take the time to hunt for prey. Once a pillow dragon becomes an adult, its fur grows very slowly. Pillow dragon fur is used to make very expensive and valuable cloth known as "dragon cashmere."






Sunstone Dragon
Egg Description: This egg resembles a glowing stone.
Adult Description: Sunstone dragons are named after the orb on their tails, which resembles the gem of the same name. Their social structure resembles a lion pride, with one dominant male and several females banded together with their young. They prefer arid climates where they can blend in and dig for minerals and gemstones that they not only collect, but eat. The more gems they consume, the larger their tail stone grows. They are an aggressive breed; it is not uncommon to see two males battling for mates and territory.






Moonstone Dragon
Egg Description: This egg resembles a glowing stone.
Adult Description: Moonstone dragons are named after the orb on their tails, which resembles the gem of the same name. They are nocturnal and gather energy through the absorption of moonlight with their orbs. They seem to glow in with a lunar light and are a very gentle breed, feeding off of plants and the moon's power.





Gold Horned Tangar Dragon
Egg Description: This egg has bright orange and green markings.
Adult Description: Gold-horned Tangars are a brightly colored tropical breed. They are primarily herbivores, and eat a wide variety of fruits and flowers in addition to the occasional bird. Tangars are well suited to life in the trees; their slender bodies make them light enough to be supported by thinner branches and agile enough to avoid obstacles while flying. Their brightly-colored horns, found in both males and females, are used to attract mates.






Spotted Greenwing Dragon
Egg Description: This egg is covered in bright spots.
Adult Description: Spotted Greenwings are relatively small nocturnal dragons. Easily recognizable by the fleshy appendages growing off of their head and rump, they are most commonly seen in forests at night, leaping and soaring from tree to tree. While generally social, spotted greenwings are very quiet and rarely make any sort of vocalization. Their bodies are unusually warm to the touch, though they are unable to breathe fire. A voracious feeder, Greenwings will consume nearly any living thing that they can fit in their mouths.






Bright Pink Dragon (Discontinued)
Egg Description: It's bright. And pink.
Adult Description:Bright pink dragons are one of the few all-female breeds of dragons. Their bright colors make them easy to spot during dragon mating season. They are primarily herbivores, but eat meat during mating season when it is brought to them by a mate. Mating seasons occur once every 200 years and can last up to 2 years.







Frilled Dragon (Discontinued)
Egg Description: This egg has strange markings on it.
Adult Description: Frilled dragons are smaller than most other breeds, but when threatened, they stretch out their wings and frills to appear larger. They generally do not like to fight and prefer hiding to confrontation. Frilled dragons live in small groups and often band together to scare off potential threats. Males also use their frills as a way to attract mates, with those displaying the "best" frills being more likely to breed.






Neglected Dragon
Egg Description: This egg is very sickly looking, like it's diseased.
Adult Description: This breed of dragons results from an egg or hatchling that has been neglected. They are usually rebellious, not obeying their masters, sometimes even attacking them. However, their neglect as a hatchling leaves them crippled, and they are weak compared to other breeds, causing them to stay with their masters for protection.






Holly Dragon - Christmas 2007
Egg Description: This egg has a holly leaf stuck to it.
Adult Description: Christmas dragons are a very mysterious breed. They are only seen during winter, and even then it is hard to catch a glimpse of one. They are responsible for the general cheer that spreads during the holidays. In essence, they are the 'Spirits of Christmas.'

Sweetling - Valentine's 2010
Egg Description: This egg looks delicate and sweet.
Adult Description: Sweetlings are a small, flightless breed of dragon. They are herbivores who favor sweet fruits and honey, and have been known to go to great lengths to obtain their favorite treats. Their long, prehensile tails allow them to grab onto branches and give them superior balance. Sweetlings are expressive dragons and have a large array of calls to communicate with others. They become very vocal during breeding season and sing long, beautiful melodies to attract a mate. Inquisitive in nature, Sweetlings are known to investigate anything that piques their interest, and are quick to flee if the object of their curiosity strikes back.






Rosebud Dragon - Valentine's 2011
Egg Description: This sweet smelling egg is covered by a ribbon.
Adult Description: Rosebud dragons are a fun and social breed found most often in the spring. The petal-like feathers that grow on their sides spread their sweet and floral scent. Although they have poor eyesight, they have ribbon-like extensions that extend their olfactory abilities to help create a map of the area around them. When flying, Rosebud dragons tend to hover, using their wings to fan their scent throughout the air. Being widespread, they go to great effort to visit as many flowery fields as possible.

Fun Facts

• 'Alt' versions of dragons are not available in the cave. They are only available through breeding. Only Sweetlings, Black Dragons, and Vine Dragons have an 'alt', and Black Alt hatchlings have two different poses; sitting and curled.

• Nocture Dragons have 'day' forms and 'night' forms, which change every 12 hours. While the 'day' form for both genders is the same, it has different 'night' forms for each gender.

• Because Pygmy Dragons are small, they can only breed with other pygmies or pumpkin dragons, and Pumpkin Dragons can only breed with other pumpkin dragons or pygmies.

• Snow Angel Dragon adults come with 3 different wing colors. One version is pure gold, one is tri colored, and the last is white and gold. Scrolls are coded to only have one color, so it is not possible to collect all three wing colors on one scroll. They are female-only dragons, and the second feather winged dragons to ever be released.

• Holiday dragons, such as Snow Angels, Yulebucks, Hollys, Ribbon Dancers, Valentines, Sweetlings, and Rosebuds are all limited to only 2 per scroll, as well as Guardians of Nature. Also, all of these breeds, excluding Hollys, are one gendered; Rosebuds, Valentines, Snow Angels, and Ribbon Dancers are all female, and Yulebucks, and Sweetlings are all male. The only other dragon with gender limitations are the all-female Bright Pink Dragons, which were discontinued in August 2009.

• Christmas-type dragons can only breed other christmas dragons during a certain period of December, just as Valentine-type dragons can only breed other valentine dragons during a period in February.

• Holly Dragons were originally an all-male breed, but in 2009 they were found to be either male or female. Before the 2009 winter event, it was confirmed by TJ09 that there were only 109 Holly Dragons in existence.

• Paper Dragons, Cheese Dragons, Dinos, Guardians of Nature, Neglected Dragons, Chickens, and Zombie Dragons cannot breed. Paper, Cheese, Chickens, and Dino are only available in the cave, Guardians of Nature are only available through the 'summon' bsa, and Neglect and Zombie Dragons are only available through killing or neglecting other eggs/dragons.

• Zombie Dragons are only visible on a scroll from 12am - 6am. On the 31st of each month, it shows as a tombstone. To get a Zombie Dragon, you must kill an adult or hatchling, then attempt to revive it. It is available throughout the year, but it only has a 1 in 100 chance of being successful. On Halloween, however, it has a 1 in 2 chance of being successful. They take a permanent 'kill' spot on your scroll, so the more of this dragon you have, the less amount of chances you have at killing any other dragon. Also, zombie hatchlings never mature.
Because Zombie dragons do not appear during the day, when they appear at night, they may be in a different spot. They do not remember which dragons they are supposed to be between; they remember the number they were in the dragon line up.

• Shallow Water Dragons, Geode Dragons, and Two Finned Blunas are only available through breeding.

• Drakes can only breed with other drakes, and Two-headed Dragons can only breed with other Two-headed Dragons.

• Sunrise and Sunset Dragons share the same egg. The dragon you get depends on the time of day the the egg hatches. Sunrise dragons hatch between 6am-12pm EST, and Sunset Dragons hatch between 6pm and 12am EST. They will not hatch between these time frames.

• Day Glory Drakes and Night Glory Drakes also share the same egg, but the dragon you get depends on when the egg was laid. Day Glories are laid between 6am and 6pm EST, and Night Glories are laid between 6pm and 6am EST.

• Striped Dragons have four different color variations. However, white is the only color available from the cave. Red, blue, green, and black striped dragons are only available through breeding.

• Seasonal Dragons are different depending on what season it is. For example; if you breed two winter seasonal dragons during spring, you will have a spring dragon offspring.

• Frilled Dragons were discontinued on May 4, 2010, however, they were available as honorable mention prizes for the 2010 Tree Decoration Contest. These dragons, along with Bright Pink Dragons, cannot breed their own offspring.

• Prize Dragons were only released to the winners of the 2010 Tree Decorating Contest. They are not available in the cave, but the are breedable, and may show up in the AP. They have no official name, but the spriter called them 'Tinsel Dragons'.
