Tricks and Treats
Every five to fifteen minutes, a special trick or treat will appear on the next page. When clicked, a little pumpkin bucket will appear at the top of your scroll (if you didn't have one already from previous year's events), and you can click on it to see the tricks and treats you have collected. See here for more information.

If the pumpkin bucket was obtained in one of the previous Trick or Treat events, the new tricks and treats are placed in there together with the ones from previous years, separated by a spooky border with the newly caught sprites beneath it. If members couldn't participate in the event from previous years, they have the chance to get a pumpkin bucket badge by joining the new Trick or Treat event in 2016. Hovering your cursor over the badge gives a message saying "2010 Trick-or-Treat"; this is the standard message for everyone's badge regardless of the year obtained, as the site recycles 2010's pumpkin badge for each new year's event.

This year there were 51 tricks and treats to be collected in total. As of October 28, the following new treats got added to the site, bringing the total to 54:

Two items were later updated during the event to include their original animated format after being affected by a glitch:

Contagion
Halloween Contagion Event Dragons are coming down with a strange malady that makes them seem like zombies.

 If your dragon is infected, there will be a sprite change on your scroll, and the following message will appear on their page: This dragon is infected! Don’t worry, nothing bad will happen. See the event page for more information. Eggs can be infected as well so long as at least one of the breeding parents is carrying the contagion.

This mini-game works in a similar fashion to the popular Minesweeper game. For instructions on how to play, see the official descriptions below or visit this fan-made guide for more details. The meter on the home screen shows which side has been gaining the most support.

Show/Hide Official Descriptions

An unofficial story ending was provided via the forums courtesy of Pokemonfan13 and SockPuppet Strangler:

Trivia

 * It is possible to click on a random tile and auto-win the game.
 * Originally, the event banner said that two-headed dragons would also be receiving sub-type specific Undead Dragon sprites.
 * There is a bug on the site currently changing adult Spitfire Dragons on user's scrolls into Thalassa Xenowyrm eggs with a 4th stage crack when they become infected with the contagion.
 * The dragon featured in the game's home screen is a young Red Dragon that has been infected and weakened for a few days.
 * The game's meter was set up such that if no one did anything, spread would naturally win. This mechanism was removed on the final day of the game.
 * This event's banner title originally said "Congation" instead of "Contagion". This was quickly fixed with an image update.

New Halloween Dragon 2016


Fact:
 * TJ09 secured 3 eggs with the codes "witch", "PERIL" and "TRMNT".
 * This dragon is the first to have an animated sprite (the stage 5 egg has blinking eyes).

Rumour:
 * To be added

Additional Information

 * Witchlight's hatchlings are very fluffy, referenced to by the egg's description of being "downy".
 * The Witchlight design was inspired by bird themes (raven, owl and vultures) as well as being based on witches and will-o'-wisps.

Holiday Breeding
Previous Halloween dragons are able to breed and produce Halloween eggs. Go to the Abandoned Page to catch some of the former Halloween eggs. The breeding period will start on October 25th and last for a week to November 1st.
