Turpentine Dragon

Turpentine Dragons were released on April 25, 2012, as part of "The Turpentines" release.

When bred to Lumina or Dark Lumina Dragons, the Turpentine's oily coating causes Luminas to shed their scales and temporarily change their sprites.

Egg
This egg smells strongly of turpentine.

Hatchling
''Aww... It's a cute baby dragon. It has a strong odor of turpentine, and your hand burns when you touch it.''

Mature hatchling
''Aww... It's a cute baby dragon. It has a strong odor of turpentine, and your hand burns when you touch it.''

''And look! It's grown its wings! It must be close to maturing.''

Adult
''Turpentine dragons are named for the oil that covers their scales. This oil resembles turpentine in odor and is mildly toxic; it will not kill but it burns to the touch and will cause illness in anyone who ingests it. Turpentine dragons roam in large packs, often stealing food from larger dragons, though they are able to hunt for themselves if necessary. Many other breeds consider turpentine dragons to be pests, so they primarily breed among themselves.''

Sprite Artist

 * Nectaris (All)

Trivia

 * Originally, the eggs of this dragon dropped in the Alpine but this was later changed to the Desert. The reason behind this was explained by the spriter, Nectaris, who divulged that this dragon was created and taken off the forum's Completed List long before the existence of biomes, resulting in the spriter never officially choosing a biome for this breed.
 * They did post in the release thread however, that they were surprised to see it released in the alpine biome and thought the desert was more fitting. It is speculated that TJ09 saw the spriter's biome preference and changed it as a result, but the spriter cannot be sure as they were too shy to contact TJ09 about the change.
