Shumoga Dragon

Shumoga Dragons were released on August 22, 2021, alongside Pyropellis Wyverns.

Shumoga Dragons occur in two variants, the lighter "pale" variant and a darker "wild" variant. The variant is determined by the means of hatching the Shumoga egg.

Egg
This striped egg has a rough, ridged texture.

Pale
''Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It loves snuggling and will approach anyone for attention.''

Wild
''Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It’s very skittish and hides if approached.''

Pale
''Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It loves snuggling and will approach anyone for attention.''

''And look! Its wings have grown larger! It must be close to maturing.''

Wild
''Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It’s very skittish and hides if approached.''

''And look! Its wings have grown larger! It must be close to maturing.''

Pale
''Shumoga Dragons are a skittish breed, more likely to spit fire at a threat and take to the air than stand and fight. However, if cornered, they will wield their fiery breath and sharp hind claws in lethal defense. Their claws are also a powerful weapon for hunting—they drop down on their prey from above and disembowel it with a swift slash. Pale Shumoga Dragons are rarely seen in the wild, as their coloring only fades to a soft orange if the hatchling remains in their egg for a long period of time. They tend to be scorned by their dark-winged brethren because they are considered weaker, but they have a much calmer and more friendly temperament. Unlike their wild kin, they do not force eggs to hatch but rather allow their hatchlings to choose when to emerge.''

Wild
''Shumoga Dragons are a skittish breed, more likely to spit fire at a threat and take to the air than stand and fight. However, if cornered, they will wield their fiery breath and sharp hind claws in lethal defense. Their claws are also a powerful weapon for hunting—they drop down on their prey from above and disembowel it with a swift slash. In the wild, females turn their eggs daily in the nest and will crack the shells with a hind claw to encourage hatching once the egg developed enough to survive. Wild Shumoga Dragons always have dark silver scales and black wings due to this forced hatching, and those that survive to adulthood display these colors proudly as a sign of survival of the fittest. However, the stress of hatching early affects their temperament, and adults tend to be nervous, irritable, and quick to take offense. ''

Variant determination
Shumoga Dragons have a pale variant and dark (wild) variant. Eggs that hatch naturally from gaining views will produce the pale variant. The dark variant is produced by forcing an egg to hatch early, either by attempting to kill it or by use of Earthquake.

Trivia

 * Infinis designed the force-hatched variant mechanic because she likes the Earthquake BSA and challenging mechanics.
