Dorsal Dragon

Dorsal Dragons were released on the April 22, 2009, alongside Balloon, Daydream, Pink, Striped, Sunrise, Sunset and Whiptail Dragons.

Dorsal Dragons can be found in purple or red variants. The variant is determined randomly when the egg is created, though the purple variant is more common than the red variant. Breeding either color of dorsal can produce a red or purple Dorsal egg.

Egg
This egg has multiple bands of color on it.

Hatchling
''Aww... It's a cute baby dragon. It has brightly colored fins on its back.''

Mature hatchling
''Aww... It's a cute baby dragon. It has brightly colored fins on its back.''

''And look! It has grown larger fins! It must be close to maturing.''

Adult
''Dorsal Dragons are so named because they have large fins along their backs that can be raised and lowered at will. They use these fins to regulate body temperature; they raise them to cool off when they become overheated. The bright colors on the fins double as a means of attracting mates.''
