Seasonal Dragon

Unlike most dragons, the seasonal dragons have more than one incarnation. Each dragon has different colorings and features depending on the season during which its egg was laid. There are a total of four different adults/hatchlings available: Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. The first seasonal dragons were revealed as Summer dragons on the 15th of September 2008. This was followed by the release of Autumn dragons on the 29th of November 2008. Winter Dragons then popped up in the 21st of December 2008. Finally, Spring dragons made their debut on the 10th of April 2009. The Seasonal breed has no breed specific action and is classed as common. Currently, Autumn dragons are active.

Even if the dragons may be Summer/Winter/Autumn/Spring dragons, the seasonal offspring they have will be determined by the season they are laid in, not what season their seasonal parent(s) is. Any seasonal dragon can cross with any type of dragon, including a seasonal dragon of any season, and lay the breed of either parent.

"Q: When do the seasonal eggs switch to the next season? A: The seasonal dragon eggs always switch on the same day each year: Spring: March 21 Summer: June 21 Autumn: September 21 Winter: December 21 The seasons switch at exactly midnight on the listed day." -TJ09, from the Frequently Asked Questions thread on the Dragon Cave Forums.

Official Dragon Description
Adult:

"Seasonal dragons take on the characteristics of the season they are born in. Thus, eggs that are laid in spring match the pink flowers and green buds of spring, and those that are laid in the summer grow to depict the bright green of the forest trees and the yellow of the sun. Eggs laid in autumn display the bright colors of leaves falling from trees, and those that are laid during winter take on the appearance of the icy snow."

Mature Hatchling:

"Aww... It's a cute baby dragon. It perfectly depicts summer/autumn/winter/spring weather. And look! It's grown its wings! It must be close to maturing."
