Purple Dragon

Purple Dragons were one of the first dragons from the original site. The Purple dragon was previously one of the few female-only breeds (the others being Bright Pink Dragons, Chickens, Valentine Dragons and Snow Angels.) However, this changed in a major update on 26 March 2010 and males were introduced, allowing Purple Dragons to be influenced for the first time. Purples are considered common dragons and as of June 10, 2011 have the breed specific action Fertility, which increases the chances of a successful breeding attempt, though it does not influence what the species of the egg will be. Fertility has a cooldown of two weeks.

The hatching sequence sprite is slightly upwards.

Official Dragon Description
Adult:

"It was previously believed that purple dragons were exclusively female, but this is not the case. Recent environmental shifts have revealed the existence of both genders of this breed. Female behavior is well known; they are primarily herbivores but will eat meat during mating season. On the other hand, very little is known about the behavior and habits of male purple dragons."

Mature Hatchling:

"Aww... It's a cute baby dragon. You think it's a girl, although you're not sure how to check. And look! It's grown its wings! It must be close to maturing."

Hatchling:

"Aww... It's a cute baby dragon. You think it's a girl, although you're not sure how to check."

Egg:

"Wow, purple isn't a color of egg you expected to see."
