Black Dragons were part of the original group of dragons first released on the site in 2006. They are one of a select few breeds (Dark Green Dragons, Sweetlings, and Undine Dragons being the others) to possess an "alt" (alternate form of the same species). Alts of any breed are rare, and with the exception of Honourable Mention prizes and TJ09's Cave Born Thuweds, alts can only be obtained from bred eggs. There were some glitches in previous years producing Cave Born alt Blacks but this has since been fixed.
Black Alt hatchlings come in both sitting and curled varieties (only one of the two possible alt hatchlings is available at a time), though both types grow up into the standard Black alt adult. The rarity of these two hatchling forms changes periodically, so many users choose to freeze the hatchlings for collection purposes. Prior to mid-November 2008, eggs for alts and regulars were slightly different, allowing the user to tell before hatching whether or not the dragon was an alt. This has since been changed, and now users must wait for eggs to hatch to reveal this. There is no known method for increasing your chances of receiving an Alt.
At one point, Black eggs did not have a green glow, but this was added to the egg sprite in January 2009. Prior to Dimorphism, the only sprites used for common and alt Blacks were the ones currently used for males. The old male sprite received a small update during Dimorphism as well.
Official Dragon Descriptions
Egg
"This egg has a faint green glow around it."
Hatchling
"Aww... It's a cute baby dragon. Its eyes glow brightly at night, and it enjoys attacking insects and small animals."
Mature Hatchling
"Aww... It's a cute baby dragon. Its eyes glow brightly at night, and it enjoys attacking insects and small animals.
And look! It's grown its wings! It must be close to maturing."
Adult
"Black dragons are warriors. They are strong and capable in battles of force, but also ample magic users, capable of devastating opponents with their spells. Their bright eyes give them excellent night vision, which is why they generally hunt during the night."
