Dusk Pygmy

Dusk Pygmies are a hybrid species released on June 25, 2017, alongside Setsong and Risensong Dragons. They were the first hybrid Pygmy species to be released on Dragon Cave.

Like all pygmies, their eggs cannot be bitten by Vampire Dragons and they can only breed with other pygmies or Pumpkin Dragons.

Pairings to obtain a Dusk Pygmy:
 * Crimson Flare Pygmy x Nilia Pygmy
 * Dusk Pygmy x Dusk Pygmy
 * Dusk Pygmy x Any other Pygmy/Pumpkin

Egg
"This tiny egg is cold to the touch."

Hatchling
"Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It seems to be active around dusk."

Mature Hatchling
"Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It seems to be active around dusk. And look! It has grown wings! It must be close to maturing."

Adult
"Dusk Pygmies, as their name may suggest, are crepuscular dragons. When the sun sets, they are most active and are commonly seen darting across the sky, the fading sunlight catching and reflecting off of their wings in brilliant patterns. Living in small, tight-knit groups, these pygmies spend many of their waking hours stretching their wings by fetching food for group members. The young, elderly, disabled, and injured are all diligently and lovingly cared for by all of the group. Though rather intelligent, they are easily distracted. Some Dusk Pygmies are prone to hoarding objects that may distract them; others may return late to their roost late after most of their other group members are already sleeping."

Trivia

 * This dragon's egg cracking sequence was glitched upon the initial release, seemingly due to the regular hatching sequence's template being used instead of the pygmy version. This resulted in red bumps forming on the egg as it hatched, eventually becoming a triangle in the lower right corner of the sprite.
