Snow Angel

Snow Angels (also known as '09 dragons) were released during Christmas 2009 from December 25th to the 27th. Similar to the previous Christmas dragons, there was a limit of two dragons per scroll for this female-exclusive species. Contrary to popular belief, these dragons cannot breed with Yulebucks as they are both classified as rare. They were the first (and to date, the only) Christmas dragons to be released as a female-exclusive species.

This dragon broke many DC 'boundaries' and had many surprises. Apart from being the first female-exclusive Christmas Dragon, it was also kept as a secret even from the in-cave spriters. Its eggs completely took over the AP for some time. It is the second feather winged dragon to be released on DC, and had three possible adult sprite. The original three types were referred to by the spriters as "Full Patterend/Full Colored/Tri colored", "White tipped", and "Full gold". Since scrolls were coded to only have one type among the three possible choices, it was not possible to obtain two different adult sprites on one scroll.

Former IRC OP Fizzix deduced a way to figure out which sprite variation would end up on a given users scroll and made the info available to other users. This upset TJ, and he removed the variations on New Year's Eve. They were eventually restored, but some users ended up with a variation different from their original one. While some users got the variation they wanted, others got the one they liked the least. This caused a very large amount of drama on the Dragon Cave Forums.
