Holly Dragon

Holly Dragons, so named for the holly leaf visible on the egg, were the first Christmas Dragons released in the cave in 2007. It has been said that it is Dragon Cave's second rarest breed behind the Neglected Dragon. They may also be one of the most desired dragon breeds in the cave. They were originally an all-male breed but when bred during the 2008 holiday season, offspring were found to be able to gender either male or female. They were breedable again in 2009. In early 2008 there was an occasional glitch that you could breed a holly out of season, the result was instantly being turned neglected. However, this glitch has since been fixed.

Before the 2009 winter event, it was confirmed by TJ that there were only 109 Holly dragons in existence, with one found in the Wilderness.
