Striped Dragon

Striped dragons were released on the 22nd of April 2009 alongside Balloon, Daydream, Dorsal, Pink, Sunrise, Sunset and Whiptail dragons. Due to the complex breeding patterns required to obtain them, they are classed as uncommon. They currently have no Breed Specific Action.

Before the "Dimorphism" change on March 26, 2010 both genders of this dragon appeared as the male sprite.

Official Dragon Description
Adult:

"Striped dragons come in a dazzling array of colors, complimented by an intricate pattern of stripes. These bright colors and patterns help attract their favorite food, insects. Because their prey is so tiny, striped dragons must spend a large portion of their day eating. The color of the dragon is usually determined by the dragon's mate."

Mature Hatchling:

"Aww... It's a cute baby dragon. It spends its time pouncing on insects. And look! It's grown its wings! It must be close to maturing and it is now covered in brightly colored stripes."

Hatchling:

"Aww... It's a cute baby dragon. It spends its time pouncing on insects."

Egg:

"This egg has brightly colored markings on it."

Breeding Results
A Striped dragon's colors are determined by its non-Striped parent: White stripes are essentially the "default" type of stripe. Any dragon that is not obviously red, green, blue, or black will probably produce a white stripe. It is a little realised fact that all Caveborn stripes are White, the only exception to this rule being the Stripes on TJ's scroll- although it could be argued that those dragons are not technically Caveborn.
 * Black Stripes are made through Stripes X: Black Marrow, Black, Nebula, Dorsal, Alt Sweetling, Ember, Gray, Golden Wyvern
 * Blue Stripes are made through Stripes X: Bluna, Daydream, Guardian, Ice, Nocturne, Royal Blue, Seasonal (Winter), Skywing, Swallowtails, Water
 * Red Stripes are made through Stripes X: Balloon, Holly, Red, Sunstone, Winter Magi, Heartseeker
 * Green Stripes are made through Stripes X: Bright-breasted Wyvern, Canopy, Frill, Green, Mint, Neotropical, Seasonal (Spring, Summer), Terrae, Vine, Ribbon Dancers, Winter Magi
 * White Stripes are made through Stripes X: Albino, Bright Pink, Canopy (originally) Coastal Waverunners, Deep Sea, Electric, Flamingo Wyvern, Geode, Gold, Hellfire Wyvern, Horse, Magi, Magma, Moonstone, Nocturne, Pillow Dragons, Pink, Purple, Ribbon Dancers Ridgewings, Seasonal (Autumn), Snow Angel (all varieties), Spitfires, Stone, Sunrise, Sunset, Sunsong Amphiptere, Silver, Sweetling, Thunder, Valentine '09, Water Walker, Whiptail, White, Winter Magi, Yulebuck.

Unknown results are Stripes X:Shallow Waters

Notes:
 * Breeding with a Seasonal dragon can create either a White Striped egg, Blue Striped egg or a Green Striped egg, depending on which type of Seasonal it was bred with. White Striped eggs can result from Autumn Seasonals, Green Stripes from either Spring or Summer Seasonals and Blue Striped eggs from Winter Seasonals.
 * All Striped x Striped matings will produce random Stripe colorings, there is no guarantee that mating Stripe with another Stripe of the same color will produce the parental colorings. Also, breeding Stripes to some other dragon breeds can result in two or more different coloured Striped eggs. It seems to be random.
 * Before The Change, breeding a Ribbon Dancer to a stripe would result in a white stripe egg, but now it can or will result in a green stripe egg. Whether the stripe egg will always be green is not yet confirmed.
 * Nocturnes can also apparently breed blue eggs. It is rumored that a Nocturne being bred in his day form will produce a white stripe egg and a Nocturne being bred in his night form will produce a blue stripe egg.
 * Up to a couple of weeks after their release, Golden Wyverns would produce Blue Stripe eggs when paired with a Stripe.
