Spriter's Alt

Spriter's alternates, often referred to as spriter's alts or SAlts, are recolored versions of limited-release dragons that are exclusive to the users involved in creating that breed. These alts are restricted to the artists' scrolls, and cannot be traded or reproduced through breeding. Though referred to as "spriter's" alternates, several concept creators have recieved their own alternates for their participation in creating a limited-release dragon.

Snow Angels were the first breed to have a spriter's alt, though not by their original design. When they were first released, the artist received normally colored variations Dis, one of the Snow Angel spriters, asked to her colleague JaziandCo to recolor a version for use as a forum avatar, and JazziandCo created a cream-colored version of the tri-color Snow Angel variant. TJ saw this new sprite and decided to replace the spriters' Snow Angels with this new sprite, beginning the tradition of allowing spriters to make a different version of limited-release dragons for their own scroll.

Originally the older Holiday Dragons (Valentine, Yulebuck, Pumpkin) didn't have alternate variations. In 2013, the spriters of these breeds retroactively received recolored versions.
