Heartstealing Dragon

Heartstealing Dragons are a female-only Eastern dragon that could be found in all biomes on Valentine's Day 2015. As a Valentine's holiday dragon, they can breed all-year but cannot produce eggs of their own breed except during a specific period surrounding Valentine's Day.

When sorted by "Breed", Heartstealing Dragons are listed as "Valentine 2015 dragon" on a user's scroll.

Egg
"This egg is so shiny it makes you want to take it."

Hatchling
"Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It doesn’t seem to like the attention its shininess attracts, but it loves shiny things."

Mature Hatchling
"Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It doesn’t seem to like the attention its shininess attracts, but it loves shiny things. And look! With its new scales, it’s even shinier! It must be close to maturing."

Adult
"Heartstealing dragons are an unusual breed, named for their mating rituals. These dragons use their long, slender bodies to sneak into both human (and dragon) holds to steal things over the year. Then, when the right season hits, they give away their entire hoard as gifts, leaving things in the homes of other dragons to attract them. When these gifts are found, however, the recipients can’t always tell who gave the gifts. This receiver often assumes the source of the gift was the original owner, causing them to form friendly bonds with other dragons in the area, spreading peace—and sometimes even sparking love. The only way to know if a gift is from a Heartstealing Dragon is to find one of their wafer-thin scales at the scene."

Glitches
Before being assigned their Neutral elemental affinity, Heartstealing dragons produced glitched Avatar eggs when bred with Guardians of Nature. Because affinity was not specified, no dragon index was specified for the egg and it instead showed as a cloud of fog. These eggs, despite having no dragon type specified, still collected views and clicks and showed up in lineages. This glitch was soon fixed by TJ09, who removed the glitch Avatars and assigned the Neutral affinity to the Heartstealing breed.

A small glitch appeared initially regarding transparency of TJ09's hatchlings due to issues handling the file formats -- this was quickly fixed and the sprite returned to normal before any player eggs had hatched. A typo also existed in the description before it was fixed, with the last line of the adult text having previously read "The only way to know if a gift is from a Heartstealing Dragpn is to find one of their wafer-thin scales at the scene."

Trivia

 * TJ's eggs have the following codes: LotsF and Lov4U.
 * The spriter has approved the nickname statement: "It's basically a shiny red noodle with legs." for their new dragon.

Additional Information

- There is also something else I'd like to bring up. I don't know why, but these guy's colour is extremely monitor dependent. It seems on older or lower quality screens they look pink, but on higher/newer ones they are red (I'm not entirely sure though). Stuff like that is normal for pixel art, but I've never seen it this drastic before. In other words, they are a little different to everyone depending on your computer. This wasn't intentional - but I don't dislike it and I doubt it will be changed.

On my HQ screen, as they were designed, they are red. They are a darker, cherryish red so consider that the 'canon' if you like. After some posts in the thread, I checked an older Macintosh and it was very bright pink and then a lighter red on a third computer. Seeing 'pink' isn't bad, it's just a computer difference so don't freak out.

I'm clearing this up since some people are getting lost with the colour discussion. I'm also adding this for after breeding starts so people with stripes and stuff don't get so confused.
