Sunset Dragon

A Sun egg must hatch between 18:00 EST and 00:00 EST to become a Sunset Dragon. Sunset Dragons were released on April 22, 2009, alongside Balloon, Daydream, Dorsal, Pink, Striped, Sunrise and Whiptail dragons. Sunset dragons are a 'sister' species to Sunrise Dragons as both hatch from the same egg.

Sunrise and Sunset eggs will not hatch outside of their specified time brackets. In order to get a Sunset rather than a Sunrise dragon, a Sun egg must hatch between the hours of 6pm and 12am cave time (EST/EDT). As of June 25, 2017, these dragons can produce Setsong Dragons when bred to Sunsong Amphipteres.

In order to get credit in the Dragon Encyclopedia for owning a Sunset egg, the player must successfully hatch the egg into a Sunset hatchling. Prior to hatching, the encyclopedia counts all Sun eggs as Sunrise eggs.

Egg
"This egg is glowing as brightly as the sun."

Hatchling
"Aww... It's a cute baby dragon. Its belly is bright red and it is most active in the evening."

Mature hatchling
"Aww... It's a cute baby dragon. Its belly is bright red and it is most active in the evening. And look! It's grown its wings! It must be close to maturing."

Adult
"Sunset dragons are closely related to Sunrise dragons. However, their behaviors differ greatly. Sunset dragons generally live alone or in small packs. They are more active in the evening, hunting and performing all of their daily tasks as the sun sets."
