Purple Dragon

Purple Dragons are one of the original species of Dragon Cave. They were previously one of the few female-only breeds as well- this changed during a major update on 26 March 2010 were males (along with new male sprites) were introduced, allowing Purple dragons to be influenced for the first time.

As of June 10, 2011, Purple dragons have the breed specific action "Fertility", which increases the chances of a successful breeding attempt, though it does not influence what the species of the egg will be. Fertility has a cooldown of two weeks and cannot be stacked for additional chances. After being used however, the effect does remain with the used dragon until it is bred.

Since the "Happy 6th Birthday" release, it is possible to breed Purple dragons with Spitfire Dragons to produce Ultraviolet Dragons.

Egg
"Wow, purple isn't a color of egg you expected to see."

Hatchling
"Aww... It's a cute baby dragon. You think it's a girl, although you're not sure how to check."

Mature Hatchling
"Aww... It's a cute baby dragon. You think it's a girl, although you're not sure how to check. And look! It's grown its wings! It must be close to maturing."

Adult
"It was previously believed that purple dragons were exclusively female, but this is not the case. Recent environmental shifts have revealed the existence of both genders of this breed. Female behavior is well known; they are primarily herbivores but will eat meat during mating season. On the other hand, very little is known about the behavior and habits of male purple dragons."
