Solstice Dragon

Solstice Dragons, also known as Christmas Dragons '13, were released for three days starting Christmas of 2013 and ending on December 27th (23:59:59 pm), with a limit of two per scroll. They are a female-only breed of dragon. They dropped in all habitats.

They are expected to only be able to reproduce the week surrounding Christmas Day, though still breed with other males and produce the male's breed of egg during the rest of the year. It is therefore implied the only time you can get a Solstice dragon egg is during Christmas time when Solstice dragons will be able to be bred again. They are classed as rare.

While TJ's eggs were hatching, all the images of the egg cracking sequence were broken. He fixed the images but seemingly the sprite of the 2nd cracking stage was still broken, resulting in the egg turning "invisible" on a user's scroll. The egg became visible again as soon as it reached the 3rd cracking stage. All images of the egg cracking sequence have been fixed by now.

There were several ungendered stage 2 hatchlings ("gender unknown"). However by now all concerned hachlings were replaced with female hatchlings. See images below.

When sorted by "Breed" they are listed as "Christmas 2013 dragon" on a users scroll.

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
"Christmas 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 Christmas.”"
