Astrael Dragon

Astrael Dragons were released on July 30, 2023. The breed appears in nine different colored variants.

Adult Astrael Dragons have a Breed Specific Action called Pollinate, which allows them to change the color of an Astrael egg to match their own coloration.

Delicate petals envelop this egg.

Hatchling
''Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It rarely speaks, but loves learning new words.''

Mature hatchling

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

Adult
''Astrael Dragons are widely known as a spectacularly colorful breed. They take great pride in their brilliant petal-like wings and glossy scales, with the most vibrant and meticulously cleaned dragons being the first to be noticed by potential mates. However, the most attractive trait an Astrael can have has nothing to do with appearances. Astrael are impressive wordsmiths, often traveling great distances so as to expand upon their vocabulary and perfect their cadence. Their passion for wordplay shines through in their communication tactics, with Astrael preferring to speak in eloquent rhymes; the most creative among them are fated to win poetry battles - and their future mates. During their travels, bardic Astrael are more than happy to share their poetic prowess with those who ask, providing opportunities for distanced friends and family members to spread joy through beautifully articulated letters. Astrael Dragons are also wonderful parents; they have even been observed taking in orphaned eggs and young. An Astrael’s pheromones are known to influence the growth of things around them, though the scent is unique to each individual.''

Variant determination
Astrael Dragons are available in nine colored variants: lime, brown, tan, green, teal, pink, blue, black, and white. The first three variants can be caught from the cave, with lime appearing in the Desert and Volcano regions, brown appearing in the Forest and Jungle regions, and tan appearing in the Alpine and Coast regions. The green, teal, and pink variants can be obtained by crossbreeding different combinations of the lime, brown, and tan variants, while the blue, black, and white variants are produced by crossbreeding the green, teal, and pink variants.

Additionally, adult Astrael Dragons can change the color of an Astrael egg to match their own variant by using the Pollinate BSA.
