Dragon Sickness

Dragons (eggs as well as hatchlings) can become sick and die. There are two different reasons for this, both relating to the amount of views/clicks it has earned. Softshell/sickness will not prevent your dragons from growing up, but one should get rid of the sickness as soon as possible to ensure your dragons reach maturity.

Is My Dragon Sick?
To tell if you egg/hatchling is sick, simply look on his/her/its personal statistics page. Underneath the description will be one of two messages (depending on whether the sick dragon is in the egg or hatchling stage).


 * If your egg has softshell, this message will appear underneath:


 * "The shell of the egg seems soft, as though there's something wrong with it."


 * If your hatchling is ill, this message will appear:


 * "The hatchling seems sick. It hasn't been eating lately and it doesn't move very much."

Causes and Solutions
The type of sickness your dragon is suffering from can be easily determined by looking at its stats on your scroll.

Type A

 *  Your egg or hatchling has received too many views in too short a time:


 * This is the most common cause of sickness and soft shell, and generally occurs during the first day or two of a dragon's growth. To fix this, simply fog your egg or hatchling to prevent it from being viewed. It's generally accepted that sickness and soft shell will go away in 24 hours.

Type B



 * Your egg or hatchling has more clicks than unique views:


 * This is less common but does happen some of the time when breeding. On occasion your Egg will get 1 click from you clicking on it but, for some reason, the initial view didn't register.  To fix this click your scroll link at the top of your scroll to register 1 view and unique view for your egg.  If this doesn't work for whatever reason, simply place your egg in a forum or on a click site where people can view it. This is one time you'll be happy that not everyone clicks all the DC eggs they come across. Although it has been rumoured that the admin has removed this error so this type of sickness should not be appearing anymore.

General Tips
Essentially, the goal is to get views and clicks for your dragon(s), but also to space them out so they're not getting themselves killed from over-viewing. Keep an eye on your dragons and check them daily (or at least once every two days) to monitor for this. Exercise common sense and soft shell will not be an issue.
