Pyralspite Dragon

Pyralspite Dragons were released on September 20, 2014. There are three varieties, one for each biome, with each one having a different appearance, name and adult description.

Egg
"This egg feels like polished stone."

Hatchling
"Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It likes garnets, but only certain kinds."

Mature Hatchling
"Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It likes garnets, but only certain kinds. And look! It has grown wings! It must be close to maturing."

Adult (Almandine)
"Pyralspite dragons are small, swift dragons that can breathe an intensely hot flame. They get their name from their resemblance to and affinity for garnets of the pyralspite family—they hoard such gems, preferring garnets that match their variant, and can tell the type of garnet from how it tastes. The red-violet variant is referred to as Almandine. Almandine Pyralspites are more aggressive than others of the same breed, and are very witty and love to mock or insult their opponents. They inhabit mountainous areas."

Adult (Pyrope)
"Pyralspite dragons are small, swift dragons that can breathe an intensely hot flame. They get their name from their resemblance to and affinity for garnets of the pyralspite family—they hoard such gems, preferring garnets that match their variant, and can tell the type of garnet from how it tastes. The dark red variant is known as Pyrope. They tend to be fiercely loyal and noble, and have a stronger sense of justice than other Pyralspites. They live primarily in volcanic areas."

Adult (Spessartine)
"Pyralspite dragons are small, swift dragons that can breathe an intensely hot flame. They get their name from their resemblance to and affinity for garnets of the pyralspite family—they hoard such gems, preferring garnets that match their variant, and can tell the type of garnet from how it tastes. The orange variant is called Spessartine. These Pyralspites are more fun-loving and mellow than others, and are optimistic as a whole. Their preferred habitat is coastal areas."
