Aegis Dragon

Aegis Dragons, or Holiday 2015 Dragons, are the all-male Holiday dragon released during the Holidays of 2015. As a limited-release dragon, they are only capable of producing more Aegis eggs during a brief period when the Holidays are celebrated in December. They can still be bred to all year round, producing the female's breed of egg. Each scroll is limited to 2 cave-born dragons of this breed, like all other Holiday dragons. They are the first in the line of Holiday dragons to not be a western dragon.

This dragon is the second holiday dragon to receive a Breed Specific Action, after the Vampire Dragon. Their action, called "Enrage", changes the adult's physical appearance until the reversing action of "Pacify" is used to calm them down. The "Enrage" action can only be performed if there are dead eggs, hatchlings or dragons on the user's scroll. The reversing action of "Pacify" can only be used when any dead eggs, hatchlings or dragons on the user's scroll have disappeared. An Aegis dragon may remain permanently in its Enraged form so long as the user never uses "Pacify".

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

Egg
"A wintry chill swirls just beneath the surface of this egg."

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's grown a dense mane! It must be close to maturing."

Adult
"Holiday 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 Winter.”"
