Black Marrow Dragon

Black Marrow Dragons or Halloween 2010 Dragons are the Halloween dragons released October 31, 2010. As a limited release dragon, Black Marrows can only produce more Black Marrow eggs during a brief period before the Halloween holiday. They may be bred year-round, but will always produce the non-Halloween mate's breed.

Egg
This egg is covered in a dark crust.

Hatchling
This hatchling could hardly be considered cute.

Mature hatchling
This hatchling could hardly be considered cute.

''Look it has grown wings! At least it isn't quite as naked-looking anymore.''

Adult
''Black Marrows are named for their dark colored hides which are encased in a distinct exoskeleton. Their skull and the top edges of their spine push out from under the skin as they age. As such, their young need excessive amounts of calcium for this armor to develop. The older a Black Marrow dragon is, the more skeletal their appearance. They often use their skeletal looks to lure in foolish scavengers or terrify predators. These vicious dragons love nothing more than to crack open bones with their stony beaks and eat the marrow inside. Voracious scavengers, Black Marrows will swarm and devour corpses both old and fresh, sometimes even dragging larger finds to the water to allow them to “ripen.” Despite their dreadful demeanour and often horrid stench, Black Marrows are devoted mates and parents.''

Trivia

 * Due to the large amount of traffic generated by this release, Dragon Cave experienced unusually high lag, making it difficult for users to collect eggs. To alleviate the issue, TJ09 added a second row of eggs to the cave for this release.
 * Under legacy breed sort, Black Marrow Dragons sort as "Halloween 2010 Dragon."
