Terrae Dragon

Terrae Dragons were released on May 26, 2010, alongside Day Glory and Moonglow Drakes, and Shallow Water Dragons. These dragons possess a unique dimorphism trait where males have wings while females do not. They are also unique in having three separate egg patterns, all of which mature into the same hatchlings and adults.

These dragons sort as "Terrae" on user's scroll when Breed Sort is used. Because of their three different egg sprites, grown up or frozen dragons use a slightly different sorting mechanism under the Breed Sort view. Instead of sorting by dates within their breed section, they will sort using the egg sprites as markers instead, resulting in new hatchlings or adults to sometimes sort before dragons that were already there.

Egg
"This egg is a lush green hue."

Hatchling
"Aww... It's a cute baby dragon. It seems to enjoy sunbathing."

Mature Hatchling (♀)
"Aww... It's a cute baby dragon. It seems to enjoy sunbathing. And look! It's grown much bigger! It must be close to maturing."

Mature Hatchling (♂)
"Aww... It's a cute baby dragon. It seems to enjoy sunbathing. And look! It's grown its wings! It must be close to maturing."

Adult
"Terrae dragons are primarily herbivores who prefer to eat from the tops of trees. However, due to their massive size, they must rely on small, specialized scales to absorb and convert energy from the sun. Since they live in tightly-knit groups, this form of energy absorption helps preserve the forests in which these dragons reside."

Trivia

 * The different egg patterns are dependent on how much sun the mother gets while the egg is developing; those with the most sun produce the least amount of chlorophyll. Those with less chlorophyll on the egg are actually more docile than the others.
 * Terraes were originally considered "dragas", a subspecies made by Dis, though she and TJ09 decided the cave did not need any more subspecies and the idea was scratched. However, they are still unofficially considered dragas by their creators.
