Rosebud Dragon

The Rosebud dragon was the all-female breed given out during Valentines 2011. They are only capable of producing more Valentines during a certain period in February, though are breedable year-round (but only producing the male's breed of egg). Each scroll/account is limited to 2 of these eggs to prevent hoarding. Any other Valentine eggs that are obtained are automatically abandoned if picked up in the abandoned page or main cave, and after 30 minutes if bred.

The main spriter, Nakase, said about them:

"I was inspired by a wreath of pink roses with a very pretty ribbon. They may look a bit equine, many people have said my dragons tend to look that way. I asked for help from a writer for the description, but I will take another look at it and bring it to their attention for a possible revision. That last sentence is suppose to mean a wide spread breed/species. The Rosebud dragons are similar to, say a hummingbird in their actions. The specific likes, dislikes, and even breed characteristics are open to your imaginations. I was inspired, and got them in a visual form. The fun for all of you is to share the joy of them on your scrolls, make lineages, and give depth to the little ladies."

Official Dragon Description
Adult:

"Rosebud dragons are a fun and social breed found most often in the spring. The petal-like feathers that grow on their sides spread their sweet and floral scent. Although they have poor eyesight, they have ribbon-like extensions that extend their olfactory abilities to help create a map of the area around them. When flying, Rosebud dragons tend to hover, using their wings to fan their scent throughout the air. Being widespread, they go to great effort to visit as many flowery fields as possible."

Matured Hatchling:

"Aww... It's a cute baby dragon. It's chubby and pink with a faint rose-like smell. And look! It's grown wings and the flower is blooming! It must be close to maturing."

Hatchling:

"Aww... It's a cute baby dragon. It's chubby and pink with a faint rose-like smell."

"This sweet smelling egg is covered by a ribbon."
