Heartstealing Dragon

Heartstealing Dragons are the all-female Valentine's Day Dragon released during the Valentine's Day event of 2015. As a limited-release dragon, they are only capable of producing more Heartstealing eggs during a brief period before Valentine's Day is celebrated in February. 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 Valentine's Day dragons.

Under the legacy breed sort, these dragons sort as "Valentine 2015 Dragon" on a user's scroll. As of August 14, 2016, they now sort using their Encyclopedia name.

Egg
"This egg is so shiny it makes you want to take it."

Hatchling
"Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It doesn’t seem to like the attention its shininess attracts, but it loves shiny things."

Mature Hatchling
"Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It doesn’t seem to like the attention its shininess attracts, but it loves shiny things. And look! With its new scales, it’s even shinier! It must be close to maturing."

Adult
"Heartstealing dragons are an unusual breed, named for their mating rituals. These dragons use their long, slender bodies to sneak into both human (and dragon) holds to steal things over the year. Then, when the right season hits, they give away their entire hoard as gifts, leaving things in the homes of other dragons to attract them. When these gifts are found, however, the recipients can’t always tell who gave the gifts. This receiver often assumes the source of the gift was the original owner, causing them to form friendly bonds with other dragons in the area, spreading peace—and sometimes even sparking love. The only way to know if a gift is from a Heartstealing Dragon is to find one of their wafer-thin scales at the scene."

Glitches
Before being assigned their Neutral elemental affinity, Heartstealing dragons produced glitched Avatar eggs when bred with Guardians of Nature. Because affinity was not specified, no dragon index was specified for the egg and it instead showed as a cloud of fog. These eggs, despite having no dragon type specified, still collected views and clicks and showed up in lineages. This glitch was soon fixed by TJ09, who removed the glitch Avatars and assigned the Neutral affinity to the Heartstealing breed.

A small glitch appeared when initially released, regarding the transparency of TJ09's hatchlings due to issues handling the file formats. This was quickly fixed and the sprite returned to normal before any player eggs had hatched. A typo also existed in the description before it was fixed, with the last line of the adult text having previously read "The only way to know if a gift is from a Heartstealing Dragpn is to find one of their wafer-thin scales at the scene."

Trivia

 * TJ's eggs have the following codes: LotsF and Lov4U.
 * The spriter has approved the nickname statement: "It's basically a shiny red noodle with legs." for their new dragon.
 * It took exactly one year for the spriter to receive their Alt for this dragon.
