Vampire Dragon

Vampire dragons were released on Halloween 2008. They filled the cave with their strange, rotten eggs. There was also much drama on the forums, as some of the eggs and hatchlings were rumored to have killed other dragons. This was later disapproved as TJ confirmed that the affected individuals' dragons were actually killed as a punitive measure due to them exploiting a glitch intentionally. Despite this revelation, many killed the eggs to get them off of their scroll, as they could not be abandoned.

Vampire dragons can still be obtained. They cannot breed through "normal" means but have different sprites for their different genders and are considered rare. They are currently the only rare dragon to possess a breed specific action, more commonly referred to as a BSA. The BSA of a Vampire dragon is called Bite, and it allows them to create other Vampire eggs from ordinary eggs every four weeks. Unbreedables and dragons that can only mate within their own breeds cannot be "turned" by the Bite BSA, but all other eggs currently can. Success percentages are as follows: 50% chance the egg bite is successful and you get to keep it, 25% chance the egg bite is successful but automatically abandoned, and 25% chance the egg is killed.

Official Dragon Description
Adult:

''Vampire dragons are members of the undead. They sustain themselves by drinking the blood of others. It is said that they are only "alive" at night, and seem dead or asleep during the day, as they cannot endure sunlight for long periods of time. Vampire dragons can only reproduce by changing the eggs of other dragons, puncturing the shell with its fangs and injecting a venom that kills the baby inside.''

Mature Hatchling:

''This hatchling appears to be... dead? Perhaps not. It seems to be active during the night.''

Hatchling:

''This hatchling appears to be... dead?''
