| − | '''Black Dragons''' were part of the original species of dragons first released on the site in 2006 during its inception. They are one of a select few breeds to possess an "Alt" (alternate form of the same species). Alts of any breed are rare, and with the exception of [[:Category:Prize Dragons|Honourable Mention prizes]] and [[:category:TJ09|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 [[Freezing|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. |
