Magelight Pygmy

Magelight Pygmy Wyverns were released on May 20, 2015, alongside Greater Spotted Drakes and Hooktalon Dragons as part of Dragon Cave's 9th birthday celebration.

Like all pygmies, their eggs cannot be bitten by Vampire Dragons and they can only breed with other pygmies or Pumpkin Dragons. Under the old Breed sort, these dragons sorted as "Pygmy-Magelight" on a user's scroll. As of August 14, 2016, they now sort using their Encyclopedia name.

Egg
"This small egg is engulfed in a cool, purple flame."

Hatchling
"Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. The flame on its tail casts a flickering light."

Mature Hatchling
"Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. The flame on its tail casts a flickering light. And look! It has grown wings! It must be close to maturing."

Adult
"Magelight Pygmy Wyverns make their homes deep under the earth, and produce a flammable, oily secretion from the tips of their tails to make light. The substance is long-burning, and brooding mothers douse their eggs in the oil while they incubate. Hatchlings’ tails subsequently catch fire at birth after coming into contact with their burning shells. Magelights are useful to human miners, as they are docile and easily trained to alert to the presence of methane damps, caved sections of tunnel, and proximity of nearby dragons to ensure the safety of crews."
