Gold Dragon

Gold dragons are one of the oldest dragons on the site, released shortly after the website's widespread discovery. They are very rare and highly sought after by many Dragon Cave members. Being very difficult to find in either the cave or on the abandoned page, these dragons are the subject of many lineages and projects. They do not have a breed specific action, and TJ09 says they never will, as he does not want to make already rare dragons even more desirable.

Gold Dragons are very rarely dropped in the cave due to the fact they are often being bred. Many gifting and trading among Dragon Cave users involves Gold Dragons.

Because of their popularity, TJ09 has made a joke page referencing Gold Dragons. It can be found here. This page is linked to when a user puts in "makeallmyeggsgold" after dragcave.net in the address bar. The following text is: "Yeah right."

On January 1st, 2012, the Golds received a sprite update, gaining dimorphism, new poses, and shading.

Golds have had the most sprite changes. Four, more than any other dragon on the site.

Official Dragon Description
Adult:

"Gold dragons are the ones most often killed by humans, who consider their scales to be extremely valuable. These golden scales grant them a high level of protection, similar to armor, and they use this to their advantage in battle."

Mature Hatchling:

"Aww... It's a cute baby dragon. Like the egg it hatched from, it is a very shiny gold. And look! It's grown its wings! It must be close to maturing."

Hatchling:

"Aww... It's a cute baby dragon. Like the egg it hatched from, it is a very shiny gold."
