Solstice Dragon

Egg hatches into a blue-winged adult if bred between 6:00 EST and 17:59 EST. Egg hatches into a rosy-winged adult if bred between 18:00 EST and 5:59 EST.

All CBs hatch as rosy-winged adults. Solstice Dragons, or Holiday 2013 Dragons, are the all-female Holiday dragon released during the Holidays of 2013. As a limited-release dragon, they are only capable of producing more Solstice eggs during a brief period when the Holidays are celebrated in December. They can still be bred to all year round, producing the male's breed of egg. Each scroll is limited to 2 cave-born dragons of this breed, like all other Holiday dragons.

Under the legacy breed sort, these dragons sort as "Christmas 2013 Dragon" on a user's scroll. As of August 14, 2016, they sort using their Encyclopedia name of "Holiday Dragon (2013)". Blue-winged variants will sort after their rosy-winged counterparts, including hatchlings that would have grown into blue-winged adults.

Egg
"This egg emits a soft, heartwarming glow."

Hatchling
"Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It’s very festively colored."

Mature Hatchling
"Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It’s very festively colored. And look! It has grown wings! It must be close to maturing."

Adult
"Holiday dragons are a very mysterious breed. They are only seen during winter, and even then it is hard to catch a glimpse of one. They are responsible for the general cheer that spreads during the holidays. In essence, they are the “Spirits of Winter.”"

Trivia

 * There were several ungendered stage 2 hatchling glitches during the initial release of this dragon (see gallery below). Since then, the glitch has been fixed and all affected hatchlings were replaced with female hatchlings.
 * In 2014, the blue-winged sprite was at first introduced as the new sprite for all bred Solstices (meaning only cave-born Solstices were intended to have the rosy-winged version). But since many users were disappointed to find that the colorful wing pattern was no longer available for bred dragons, TJ and Odeen arranged the time-based method of determining wing color.
 * On December 19, 2016, the Solstice mature hatchlings received a sprite update to include a new rosy-winged version. This was added in after an almost 2 year suggestion discussion thread via the DC Forums, as users struggled to be able to obtain the adult versions they wanted due to human error on part of time zone calculations and the abandoned page changing egg times.
