Current release

On this page will be stored information about newly released dragons for which we have incomplete information or data. Information can be compiled here so that it can be retrieved at a later stage to form the separate dragon's articles.

RULES OF NEW DRAGON RELEASES All newly released dragon information is to be compiled on this article and this article only.

Do not:


 * Add the dragon(s) to the Which Egg Is Which page.


 * Add the dragon(s) to the Dragon Types page.


 * Add the dragon(s) to any page apart from this one.


 * Create the dragon(s) article.


 * Add information if it has not been seen in the cave yet.

These rules apply while the dragon is being released and after the adult has been released and it seems like they have been completely released. Failing to comply with these rules will result in a one week suspension. Written in by the admin, Bluesonic1.

Remember, adding information not yet seen in the cave is NOT allowed. I know you know it, I know half of it as well. But please, don't add it until it has been found in the cave. Votehim 07:19, May 26, 2010 (UTC)

If you add interesting information from speculations made on the forums, please be sure to mark this information with Rumour unless it is absolutely a proven fact. See the current facts/rumors under each breed for examples. SH172 14:20, May 26, 2010 (UTC) IMPORTANT. Information marked Fact has been so widely proven that may be accepted as true. Information marked Rumor is rumor. Currently, there is no way to prove this information true or false, and though much of it seems like it will be true, do not accept it as true information. This especially means that you should not present this information to people in the forums as hard fact. SH172 17:15, May 27, 2010 (UTC).

The Turpentines
On April, 25 2012 a new breed was released to Dragon Cave. They're dropping in the Desert biome.

Rumor:
 * The description on the release banner leads to the idea that they can't breed with other dragons except their own kind.
 * May be more likely to be refused.
 * Someone suggested they might be able to breed with vampires, based on a remark at Halloween that the vamp creator had "plans" for them. (The vampire creator no longer hangs out on DC, however, and under facts, Nectaris admits to having no plans like that.)
 * Turpentine x Ridgewing pairs currently seem to refuse each other always. No word on whether this is a bug or intentional. Currently there's a forum thread devoted to "Turpentine Breeding Results".

Fact:
 * They are influenceable.
 * They appear in the Bite Menu for Vampires.
 * Even if their description says that "they primarily breed among themselves", they can be mated with other dragons. They can certainly breed with ribbons and with heartseekers.
 * In TJ's post there are only two eggs, which usually means that both the gendered hatchlings and the adult sprites do not have gender dimorphism. This means that the male & female matured hatchlings, along with the adults, are identical. Certainly the two mature hatchlings are identical.
 * They suddenly changed biome, being released at first in the Alpine and lately in the Desert. There's a post in "Tiny Little Questions" from a mod, suggesting that the artist asked for the biome to be changed because the Alpine biome didn't fit the dragon's concept. Nectaris also confirmed this idea in the News thread (and here), stating that she thought they fit better in the desert but had never PM'd TJ about it, though also states that none of us really know for sure, as TJ didn't contact her with confirmation of this change.
 * Nectaris says that *she* had no plans for them with vampires in the News thread."' I know I had no plans on any relation with the vampire. The eggs in all technicality do not produce the turpentine oil, it is the mother who rubs her own oil onto the egg to protect it from predators. Theoretically, if the mother was not around to object, you could clean off the egg and it would be perfectly safe to handle. '"
 * In response to a question regarding whether the toxin would be harmful to other dragons, Nectaris said:"' It would only hurt them if it reached the skin underneath the scales, or any unprotected area, like the mouth or eyes. Their poison is not that strong, usually it just produces a burning sensation, and maybe a painful blister on those who are more sensitive. '"
