Witchlight Dragon

Witchlight Dragons are the Halloween breed released in 2016.

Egg
"This downy egg is hidden in brambles."

Hatchling
"Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. Its eyes glitter like enchanting flames."

Mature Hatchling
"Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. Its eyes glitter like enchanting flames. And look! It has grown wings! It must be close to maturing."

Adult
"Witchlight Dragons are silent, secretive beasts that haunt the most remote corners of the wilderness. They beguile their unsuspecting prey into peril by assaulting their perceptions of reality and stoking the fires of paranoia with masterfully-conjured illusions. Unwary travelers have been led astray by the soft, inviting glow of their eyes amidst a sea of encroaching darkness, never to be seen again. Those that survive a Witchlight Dragon’s psychic onslaughts do not escape unchanged: some believe that the apparitions these dragons summon to tempt or torment their victims awaken them to hidden truths about themselves."

Trivia

 * TJ09 secured three Witchlights with the codes "witch", "PERIL" and "TRMNT".
 * This is the first dragon to have an animated egg sequence sprite, seen at the 5th stage.
 * Witchlight hatchlings are very fluffy, a reference to the fact that the egg is "downy".
 * The Witchlight design was inspired by bird themes (raven, owl and vultures) as well as being based on witches and will-o'-wisps.
