Nebula Dragon

Nebula Dragons were released on the April 1st, 2010, alongside Bright-Breasted Wyverns, Hellfire Wyverns, Guardians of Nature and Sunsong Amphipteres. On April 1, 2011, a second set of Nebula variants were released to celebrate their anniversary. As of August 28, 2017, these dragons can produce Carina Dragons when bred to Ridgewing Dragons.

The second set of sprites act as a variation of the first, with the different colors corresponding to a particular gender. All colors can be obtained by catching them in the cave or through breeding, and are all equal to each other with regards to rarity.

These dragons sort by their Encyclopedia name, with the 4 colors split into two groups. Blue and purple variants sort above the green and red variants. There is no color sorting within those two groups, as the color depends on gender.

Egg
This egg glows with a brilliant radiance.

Hatchling
''Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. Despite being as black as outer space, it has a few bright patterns on it.''

Mature hatchling
''Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. Despite being as black as outer space, it has a few bright patterns on it.''

''And look! It has grown wings and its scales have gained beautiful patterns. It must be close to maturing.''

Adult
''Nebula Dragons are nocturnal creatures. With the best eyesight to be found, they are often seen staring into space. Each dragon tends to observe a particular nebula and will eventually change their colors and patterns to match it. As the nebula changes over time, the dragon changes with it. The more intricate the design of the nebula, the better chance an individual has of attracting a mate. It is said that the markings on no two Nebula Dragons will be exactly the same.''

Trivia

 * It was noticed on May 23, 2017, that the egg description was changed, possibly done during the recent Dragon Cave 11th Birthday updates. The old egg description read:
 * "This egg has a brilliant radiance coming off of it."
