Red-Tailed Wyrm

Red-Tailed Wyrms were released on April 22, 2018, alongside Tatterdrakes. Like all pygmies, their eggs cannot be bitten by Vampire Dragons and they can only breed with other pygmies or Pumpkin Dragons.

Users still using the old Legacy sort on their scrolls will find this breed sorted as "Pygmy-Red-Tailed Wyrm" rather than its official encyclopedia name.

Egg
"This tiny egg has a bold red streak on it."

Hatchling
"Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It has no legs, and the end of its tail is a bright red."

Mature Hatchling
"Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It has no legs, and the end of its tail is a bright red. And look! It’s grown more red frills along its back and sides."

Adult
"Red-Tailed Wyrms are a small but clever breed of dragon. Their innate ability to use air mana allows them to fly, and they are aerial predators with extremely sharp eyesight. They tend to ride on warm air currents, and then swoop out of the sky when they spot prey. Once the wyrm catches its prey, it will constrict its meal before swallowing it whole. They can often be found in human settlements, draped over rooftops or signs to rest between meals."

Trivia

 * For some time during the first day of release, one and then eventually both of TJ09's eggs were hidden/fogged. They only became visible again once the eggs had hatched. It is theorized that the eggs were hidden/fogged during the hatching sequence due to the incorrect images being applied, as happened to the breed that was released alongside this one. This glitch continued sometime after the adults were revealed, applying to the eggs of regular users, until it was fixed and the correct cracking sequence is now shown instead.
