Nexus Dragon

Nexus Dragons were released on May 21, 2016, alongside Candelabra Dragons, Morphodrakes and Tarantula Hawk Drakes as part of Dragon Cave's 10th Birthday release. Like all other two-headed dragons, they can only breed with their own kind and their eggs cannot be bitten by Vampire Dragons.

Nexus dragons are among a short list of dragons on DC that have a unique cracking sequence to their eggs, appearing to shatter and crumble as the egg hatches. These dragons sort as "Nexus Dragon" using Breed sort, in between Neotropical Dragons and Nocturne Dragons.

Egg
"This dense, crystalline egg seems dangerously unstable."

Hatchling
"Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It has two heads and bright, glowing eyes."

Mature Hatchling
"Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It has two heads and bright, glowing eyes. And look! It has grown wings! It must be close to maturing."

Adult
"Nexus Dragons are massive, volatile beasts surging with magical power. Each half of a Nexus Dragon’s body is infused with fire or ice mana, and it is believed that the unstable nature of these paired elements drives the dragon mad as it grows in size and strength. They are strict carnivores, preferring to feed on dragons and other creatures that naturally possess magic in order to bolster their own stores. As Nexus Dragons age, fire and ice mana crystals grow all over their bodies, enhancing both their power and viciousness."
