All newly released dragon and event information is to be compiled on this article and this article only.

Do Not


 * Add the dragon(s) to the Which Egg Is Which page.
 * Add the dragon(s) to the Dragon Types page.
 * Add the dragon(s) to any page apart from this one.

 * Add information if it has not been seen in the cave yet.
 * Do not add the spriter's alts of a dragon.  (The DC-Wiki team will ask the artist(s) for permission to upload them).

These rules apply while the dragon is being released, till the moment when the dragons of users start to become adults. After that, the dragons' article(s) can be created.

Staff Messages

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. If one of the holiday artists keeps their scroll hidden, respect that fact! The DC-Wiki team will contact 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.
 * Remember, adding information not yet seen in the cave is NOT allowed. We know you know it, we know half of it as well. But please, don't add it until it has been found in the cave.
 * If you add interesting information from speculations made on the forums, please be sure to mark this information with Rumor unless it is absolutely a proven fact. See the current facts/rumors under each breed for examples.
 * IMPORTANT 
 * Holiday Release

9th Birthday Release


''We don’t quite have nine breeds to celebrate nine years of dragons (you’re welcome), but we hope you enjoy these three new breeds. Go grab them from the alpine, forest, and desert.''

Magelight Pygmy Wyvern
Fact: Rumour:
 * This dragon is a Pygmy.
 * This egg sorts between Dark Myst Pygmy (Pygmy Dark Myst) and Misfit Pygmy (Pygmy Misfit) in breed sort.
 * This egg drops in the Alpine biome.
 * None.

Additional Information
Marrionetta revealed her preference for Pumpkin Dragon mate pairings for Magelight Pygmy Wyverns when another user commented that they could make a good pairing: "Marrionetta"

- Oh, that was quick.

I made the original teeny sprite that would eventually come to be remade as the female magelight because I wanted a 'candle' to pair with pumpkins.

Good eye.

In response to requests for more information, Marrionetta posted some: "Marrionetta"

- In my best understanding, Pygmies are cat/dog sized, yes. Pumpkins are on the larger end of the range, whatever that happens to be, and Magelights are comparably sized. I know Vicats was pushing for a 4-10lb range for the original Pygmies, so I assume Pumpkins and Magelights are probably up to 30 or 40lbs - of course this is all dependent on a future standardized sizing scale, and my thoughts on their sizes are going to be flexible. n_n

"Marrionetta"

- Magelights detect methane and other flammable gases in the air in the low parts per million, and extinguish their tails quickly to prevent catastrophic fire by comically shoving the ends in their mouths to smother the flame.

Magelights honk a bit like peafowl, and while capable of telepathic communication like other dragons, don't usually have a lot to say.

Their pointed beaks are used as a dexterous appendage, due to their lack of hands or wing thumbs. This specialized tool doesn't develop until near adulthood, and Magelights are particularly awkward and vulnerable in adolescence due to the lengthening of their phalanges and the sudden absence of manipulatable hands. Puberty sucks.

The oily, resinous secretion they produce as a firestarter can be harvested and used by humans, but its smell when inert and unburnt is particularly foul. Its odor is remnicient of a mixture of rotting oysters and low quality grain liquor. It can be condensed into an oleoresin block, which can be stored for a time and kept in emergency kits, but only in a metal cannister sealed with wax, as it tends to oxidize quickly and smell all the worse. It should be noted that pursuading a Magelight pygmy to produce extra oil for collection usually involves extensive bribery and begging on the part of the poor fool who assumed it'd be a good idea.

Magelight pygmies are opportunistic feeders and will eat just about anything.

They are social by nature, and seek out the company of other individuals of their species, other dragons, and humans.

In response to a question on how their flames worked, Marrionetta replied: "Marrionetta"

- They can probably breathe fire and relight themselves if the flame goes out. I assume the purple flame is caused by the chemical composition of their oily goo, but the fact that it's cool to the touch is probably caused by mana interference.

Hooktalon Dragon
Fact: Rumour:
 * This egg is dropping in the Desert biome.
 * This egg cannot be bitten by a Vampire Dragon.
 * This egg sorts between Hellhorse Dragons and Horse Dragons in breed sort.
 * This is a Two-headed dragon.
 * This egg drops in the Desert biome.
 * None

Additional Information
When prompted regarding good pairings for Hooktalon dragons, Marrionetta shared the following information via the forums regarding a conversation with Odeen: "Marrionetta"

-  i literally made hooktalons for bloodscales

 they are meant for each other

Odeen has also confirmed with users that Hooktalon behaviour has been modelled after the behaviour of Spotted Hyenas. "Odeen"

- Also, with regard to people who seem to think there's some weird bra-burning bent to the hooktalon's behavior, and yadda yadda would it be kosher if the genders were swapped, I'm surprised only one person picked up on this.

They are spotted hyenas. They are spotted hyenas with wings and two heads. They're also dragons, not social justice warriors. Please calm down.

Greater Spotted Drake
Fact: Rumour:
 * This egg cannot be bitten by a Vampire Dragon.
 * This egg sorts between Storm Dragons ("Gray" in breed-sort) and Green Dragons in breed sort.
 * This egg is a Drake.
 * This egg drops in the Forest biome.
 * None.

Additional information
JOTB reflected in a forum post addition information on the dragon and its creation: "JOTB"

- We tend to shoot for realistic anatomy but there's so much wrong with most DC dragons' flying abilities that I feel it's a moot point. I don't wanna.

I'm not claiming that they're 100% anatomically correct (my knowledge is far from complete), but here are some of my intentions regarding the anatomy that may (or may not) address your conerns.

The hind legs are supporting the dragon's weight and providing balance. They switch between bipedal and quadrupedal gaits, hence why the hind legs are so long. Was that your concern? Think of his pose as having previously been up on his hind legs eating leaves, but then he heard something interesting and came back down on all fours without readjusting his limbs.

Wings look much larger fully extended (the membrane pulls back and folds). I don't really remember but I'm pretty sure I made this after seeing some pictures of birds with very short, thick wings and wanted to mess around with that anyway?

I'm not really sure what's wrong with having muscular wing arms though?

Far foreleg should be darker, good point.

And yes, they do primarily eat plants but when they eat meat they ambush it. Most of the meat eating occurs in the winter, or in areas where there is already heavy browsing from other species.
