Plated Colossus Dragon

Plated Colossus dragons were released on the 28th of March 2015 alongside Gemshard dragons and Striped River dragons as part of the "March Release 2015". They are considered uncommon at this stage. They currently have no Breed specific action and can be found as normal cave drops. This dragon sorts as Colossus Dragon, between Coastal Waverunners and Copper Dragons.

Egg
"This massive egg is covered with thick plates."

Hatchling
"Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. This large hatchling is well-protected by its thick, scaly hide. It is pushy and aggressive toward other dragons."

Mature Hatchling
"Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. This large hatchling is well-protected by its thick, scaly hide. It is pushy and aggressive toward other dragons. And look! It has grown wings! It must be close to maturing."

Adult
"Plated Colossus Dragons are one of the largest dragon species. These huge brutes are notorious bullies—they prefer to steal food from other dragons rather than finding it for themselves. As their thick hides are impervious to most forms of physical attack, Plated Colossi simply ignore the other dragons’ protests, or lash the offending dragon with their club-like tail, which can easily break a limb. Plated Colossi have slow metabolisms and do not need to eat often, but they may consume nearly half their body weight in one feeding. These dragons are not incredibly clever and any discussion with them will often center around eating."

Additional Information
LadyLyzar shared some information on the forums about the females beard/dewlap: "LadyLyzar"

- It is a little beardie/dewlap thing that she can inflate to appear larger. The bright color is used to attract a male's attention - either to try and intimidate him or impress him during breeding season.
