Original Dragon Sprites

Before DragonCave had all the amazing, user made sprites it had now, all the sprites cam from various video games across the web. This led to some copy-right issues, and TJ09 was forced to replace them- with the help of various DragonCave artists, resulting in the Replacement Project. Many of the original sprites added were heavily influences from the previous ones, and some artists have critiqued them as having anatomy problems (notably the Gold Dragons, and Split Hatchlings).

As you can see, at the time Yoshis were, at the time, our dinos. Even when the replacements came in, we continued to tribute to Yoshi, by giving the dinos cartoonish shading and shoes. You can also see there are two sprites that are basically unchanged- the Papers and Hollies, which were originally made by DragCave.
