Staff messages
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).

Holiday Release If one of the holiday artists keeps their scroll hidden, respect that fact! The DC-Wiki team will contact them and ask them if they would be willing to share the images of their spriter's alt. Don't post links to the spriter's alt, because it might result in them getting sick.

Dragon Cave's 7th Birthday - May 21, 2013
On May 21, 2013 TJ added 47 new avatars to the forum. All of the avatars are made by Mysfytt. Mysfytt previously submitted the Brimstone Dragon to Dragon Cave.

7th Birthday Release - May 22. - 29, 2013
"TJ09"

- That's right. Seven new breeds in seven days. The event will start with a single breed being released at 0:00 on Wednesday the 22nd (Tuesday night into Wednesday). There will then be a new breed released each night for the following six nights, totaling seven (permanent) breeds. Because of this event, there will also be no June monthly release. This should give everyone some time to breath after the influx of new breeds.

May 22, 2013 - Day 1
Show/Hide Content "TJ09"

- The first day of our seven day extravaganza begins with these wonderful eggs. You can find them on in the Coast. Remember, they’re permanent—so take your time!

Fact

 * They're listed between Tangar and Terrae dragons when sorted by breed.
 * Can be bitten by Vampire Dragons.
 * These were done in public, as a few members have reported remembering them from when they were on the Completed Dragons Progress List.
 * They can be found on the Coast.
 * When sorted by breed they are listed as "Teimarr" instead of "Black Capped Teimarr".

Rumour

 * Some color schemes may be based off of Emperor Angelfish, dolphins, penguins or puffins.
 * The adults might be a fair amount smaller then "normal sized" dragons.
 * Might be a playful breed.

May 23, 2013 - Day 2
Show/Hide Content "TJ09"

- Day two of seven brings this hot, volcanic breed. Remember, they’re permanent—so take your time!

Fact

 * They're listed between Blacks and Blunas when sorted by breed.
 * They can't be bitten by Vampire Dragons.
 * They are a new 2-headed dragon.
 * The first "two-head" to be made since 2007. (about 6 years ago)

 * They only breed with other 2-headed dragons.
 * They can breed with 2 Headed Dragons.
 * As the first Bloodscales were starting to grow up on scrolls, some users reported that the dragon seemed unable to breed with anything. This was later confirmed in chat to be a glitch. Bloodscales can now breed with Two-Headed Dragons and Bloodscales.

Hellhorse Dragon
Can be obtained by breeding Hellfire Wyverns with Horse Dragons.

 * This dragon is a hybrid that can be obtained by breeding Hellfire Wyverns with Horse Dragons.

 * Reflecting the Hellfire Wyvern breed, the female is larger than the male.

Additional Information
LadyLyzar commented on the Hellhorses names:

"LadyLyzar"

- I'm glad that you all like the Hellhorses. "Hellhorse" was a placeholder name - I didn't really like it and thought it was well, blah and boring. I was planning on changing it to Dreadflare, but if you like Hellhorse I can keep it that way.

May 26, 2013 - Day 5
Show/Hide Content "TJ09"

- The fifth day of our seven day event brings us this versatile breed, complete with three alts. You can find them in any biome. Remember, they’re permanent—so take your time!

Copper Dragon


Facts

 * They're listed between Coastal Waverunners and Dark Green Dragons when sorted by breed.
 * Can be found in any biome.
 * The S2 hatchlings have dimorphism. (color variations)
 * Fiona BlueFire stated in a forum post that these dragons will not be classed as rare, they will most likely be uncommon.
 * There are only these 3 forms/colours/alts of the dragon, there are not more than that.

Rumor

 * Brown-ish/Purple-ish colored egg can be found in the Desert/Volcano Biome.
 * Red-ish/Coppery colored egg can be found in the Alpine/Forest Biome.
 * Green-ish/Blue-ish colored egg can be found in the Coast/Jungle Biome.
 * They may have been made in the Fi's Metals thread, as they seem to be metallic, and Fiona BlueFire is their artist. However, they may have had edits made in the artists' section, such as new hatchlings and eggs, as well as a third alt.
 * Assuming that they are "copper", the colors seem to be based on environmental influence on the metal. Desert/Volcano is likely to "tarnish" because of the harsh conditions and Coast/Jungle is likely to "corrode" because of the moist conditions. Alpine/Forest would seem to cause the least amount of environmental influence.

Additional Information
Fiona BlueFire stated in a forum post that these dragons will not be classed as rare, they will most likely be uncommon. "Fiona BlueFire"

- I"m just going to go on record now and say these are not classed as rares. They were never intended to be rare, despite what some think they remember seeing. They were intended to be fairly common (not cave blocker common) and I checked with TJ to make sure I was allowed to say that THEY ARE NOT RARE! Cuz they're not. A bit uncommon, maybe. I can't control how hard they become to catch due to popularity, but they are not gold/silver rare.

On May 29 2013, 11:15 AM, Fiona BlueFire further explained the colorations of the dragons: "Fiona BlueFire"

- Actually, the colors are rainbow, verdigris and liver of sulfur. A rainbow patina on copper is achieved with heat. We decided to use that as the normal coloration of the dragons, rather than a shiny plain copper, mostly because we both liked how they looked so much.

Verdigris is another name for oxidized copper. If you look at the American Statue of Liberty, you see a fine example of verdigris. Salt and high humidity are conditions that speed up the oxidation. The coast and the jungle seemed like the places where those conditions would be found.

Liver of sulfur is an acid that can be applied to copper to create a particular coloration. In this case we chose it for places where conditions are particularly harsh, like the volcanoes and the desert.

Fiona BlueFire explained which coloration is assigned to which Copper dragon here: "Fiona BlueFire"

- *Red - rainbow - normal → ''"3 alts" meaning 3 versions of the same dragon. There are only 3. There is no mystery 4th. Yes, it's a metal. But not rare!
 * Green - verdigris - oxidized - corroded → [[File:Copper_Dragon3_male.png]]
 * Brown - liver of sulfur - tarnished → [[File:Copper_Dragon1_male.png]]''

Fiona BlueFire revealed that there used to be four color variations: "Fiona BlueFire"

- Just for your historical pleasure, there was a fourth color originally - bright shiny new copper. It was the base for the other colors. Originally we were going to have that be the main color and also have however many of the "alt" colors TJ let us get away with, but when we put it next to the new colors we decided it didn't make the cut. Trust us, it was a good decision.

May 27, 2013 - Day 6
Show/Hide Content "TJ09"

Fact

 * They are listed between Black Tea Dragons and Gilded Bloodscale Dragons.

Fact
