Frilled Dragon

Frilled Dragons, also known as Frills, were released alongside Geode Dragons on February 10, 2009. Their egg description is shared with Skywing and Horse Dragons as well as Ochredrakes, though they only share a biome with Horse Dragons. Frilled Dragons were retired from the cave on May 4, 2010, though they were reinstated on May 21, 2016 as part of Dragon Cave's 10th birthday.

Following their original release, users complained about Frilled Dragons for being "too common" and blocking both the cave and Abandoned Page. As negative reactions against the breed developed, Lythiaren requested that the breed be discontinued. On May 4, 2010, TJ09 announced that the Frilled Dragons were officially discontinued. Frilled Dragon eggs could not be found in the cave, and breeding an existing Frilled Dragon would only produce the non-Frilled mate's breed, similar to limited release dragons.

In May 2014, Lythiaren had stated that she was open to the idea of re-releasing the Frilled Dragons and had stated her intention of getting them re-released pending TJ09's approval.

Egg
This egg has strange markings on it.

Hatchling
''Aww... It's a cute baby dragon. It has large frills on its head.''

Mature hatchling
''Aww... It's a cute baby dragon. It has large frills on its head.''

''And look! It has grown wings! It must be close to maturing.''

Adult
''Frilled dragons are smaller than most other breeds, but when threatened, they stretch out their wings and frills to appear larger. They generally do not like to fight and prefer hiding to confrontation. Frilled dragons live in small groups and often band together to scare off potential threats. Males also use their frills as a way to attract mates, with those displaying the "best" frills being more likely to breed.''

Trivia

 * During the Snow Warning event, Frilled Dragons made appearances in two chapters: Chapter 10 included a Frilled Dragon acting as a governess for a flock of hatchlings gathered inside the Holiday Dragons' weather wards, and Chapter 13 featured an old Frilled Dragon telling tales to the hatchlings of her clan.
 * The very last naturally produced Frilled egg before their retirement was bred by TheAntimonyElement, found here.

Additional information
Lythiaren has revealed that they make wonderful parents, and use their leg frills to amuse hatchlings. The males are also more decorative and colorful than the females; there was once a different male sprite planned, but this went uncompleted due to them being discontinued.
