Black Dragon

Black dragons were one of the first and original dragons of the site. They are also one of two dragons that possess an "alt" (alternate forms of the same species). Alts are rare, and you have a slim possibility of getting a alt from a bred egg or a cave born egg. However, there are two forms of the alt hatchlings as well: sitting and curled. The rarity of the phases changes so some people choose to freeze the hatchlings of both to prove they have had both. In the past, eggs for alts and regulars were slightly different, allowing the user to tell before hatching whether or not the dragon is an alt. However, this has been changed, and now users must wait for eggs to hatch to reveal this. At one point, Black eggs did not have a green glow.

Priod to Mod Mayhem, there was just one sprite for both male and female, namely the one now used for male Blacks.

Players often do the "Alt Lottery", where they catch a Black Dragon egg and raise it until it hatches. They have no intention of keeping it if it turns out to be of the normal variety and abandon any normal hatchlings. These cases have resulted in Black dragons being probably the most commonly seen hatchling breed on the Abandoned Page, inbreeding of many black eggs in hopes of producing an alt, and fewer cave-born blacks being dropped due to so many bred eggs. Only one of the two possible alt hatchlings is available at a time (both result in the same adult and different hatchling sprites tend to be desired so players can freeze each for collecting purposes).
