Sunbeam Drake

Day Glory Drakes were released on May 26, 2010 alongside Night Glory Drakes, Terrae Dragons, and Shallow Water Dragons. They are only able to breed with other Glory Drakes and with Ochredrakes, making them the first species to be able to interbreed with Ochredrakes.

They are not commonly found on the AP or Cave, and are therefore classified as uncommon.

Day Glories share the same egg as Night Glories. A Glory egg created by the DC's system (with breeding or release in the cave) between 6 AM and 6 PM cave time (Eastern Standard/Daylight Time) will hatch into a Day Glory Drake. If an egg is created before the time limit but it sits in the cave and is taken after the time change, it will still turn in the type of Glory related to its creation time.

When Day Glories were first suggested along with the Night Glories, their name was actually asked to be Diurnal Drakes, with their counterpart being Nocturnal Drakes. However, this was changed out of fear that it would be too similar to that of Nocturne Dragons, and was later changed to be named after the flower.

Earthgirl has confirmed here that they are a very small breed. On CaveCast 'Did you know...?' segment it was revealed that the breed's favourite food is cherries. Also, while they are less intelligent than Night Glories, the Day Glories are faster, and able to travel up to 150 mph.

Official Description
Adult:

"Day Glory drakes are radiant and friendly creatures that love the company of humans. They are so friendly, in fact, that they will eat food and treats right from a person's palm. Despite their friendliness, they aren't an easy target for predators due to their excellent flying abilities; when danger approaches, they are able to vanish within seconds. Breeding only occurs during the day when the sun is warm."

Mature Hatchling:

"Aww... It's a cute baby dragon. It has the colors of a bright summer day. And look! It's grown its wings! It must be close to maturing. "

Hatchling:
