Snow Angel

Snow Angels (also known as '09 dragons) were released during Christmas 2009 from December 25th to the 27th. Similar to the previous Christmas dragons, there was a limit of two dragons per scroll for this female-exclusive species. These dragons can breed with Yulebucks since the change. They are both classified as rare. They were the first Christmas dragons to be released as a female-exclusive species.

This dragon broke many DC 'boundaries' and had many surprises. Apart from being the first female-exclusive Christmas Dragon, it was also kept as a secret even from the in-cave spriters. Its eggs completely took over the AP for some time. It is the second feather winged dragon to be released on DC, and had three possible adult sprites. The original three types were referred to by the spriters as "Full Patterned/Full Colored/Tri colored", "White tipped", and "Full gold". Since scrolls were coded to only have one type among the three possible choices, it was not possible to obtain two different adult sprites on one scroll. A fourth exclusive version of the dragons was released and given only to the spriters of the '09 Christmas dragon. This variation bears full patterened/tri colored wings but has a tan body instead of a white one.

Due to several users figuring out how sprites were assigned to scrolls, TJ removed the variations on New Year's Eve. They were eventually restored, but some users ended up with a variation different from their original one. While some users got the variation they wanted, others got the one they liked the least. This caused a very large amount of drama on the Dragon Cave Forums. The Christmas dragons on the spriters' scrolls were also changed to the special variation at this time.

On 24th December 2010, all bred Snow Angels gendered male. This was a glitch, and was fixed by TJ09 later.
