Witchlight Dragon

Witchlight Dragons, or Halloween 2016 Dragons, were the Holiday species given out during Halloween of 2016. Unlike dragons of other holidays, Halloween dragons can be either male or female and do not have a scroll limit set for them. They are only capable of producing more Witchlight eggs during a certain period when Halloween is celebrated in October. They can still be bred to all year round, producing their partner's breed of egg.

The lack of a scroll limit for Halloween dragons was explained during one year's event by TJ09: "In the words of the pumpkin dragon's creator, Christmas and Valentine's Day are about giving, but Halloween is about grabbing as much candy for yourself as you can".

Egg
"This downy egg is hidden in brambles."

Hatchling
"Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. Its eyes glitter like enchanting flames."

Mature Hatchling
"Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. Its eyes glitter like enchanting flames. And look! It has grown wings! It must be close to maturing."

Adult
"Witchlight Dragons are silent, secretive beasts that haunt the most remote corners of the wilderness. They beguile their unsuspecting prey into peril by assaulting their perceptions of reality and stoking the fires of paranoia with masterfully-conjured illusions. Unwary travelers have been led astray by the soft, inviting glow of their eyes amidst a sea of encroaching darkness, never to be seen again. Those that survive a Witchlight Dragon’s psychic onslaughts do not escape unchanged: some believe that the apparitions these dragons summon to tempt or torment their victims awaken them to hidden truths about themselves."

Trivia

 * TJ09 secured three Witchlights with the codes "witch", "PERIL" and "TRMNT".
 * This is the first dragon to have an animated egg sequence sprite, seen at the 5th stage.
 * Witchlight hatchlings are very fluffy, a reference to the fact that the egg is "downy".
 * The Witchlight design was inspired by bird themes (raven, owl and vultures) as well as being based on witches and will-o'-wisps.
