Revision as of 13:53, 21 May 2018

Blue Dinos, or Triceratops horridus, are an original species on the site as well as being among the first creatures ever released on Dragon Cave during its inception on May 21, 2006. Dinos are a special release of creatures as opposed to the traditional dragons found on the site; they do not possess genders and cannot breed. They also cannot be revived if killed.

Dinos come in 5 colors: Green, Red, Blue, Yellow and Purple. Purple Dinos are the only color not considered an original species of Dragon Cave, having been instead introduced on July 15, 2009.

Adult Dinos used to originally possess genders, with all of them gendering male (and later female, shortly before the change to remove genders entirely). Despite having genders though, they still could not breed. The current sprites were based loosely on the sprites of Yoshi, which were the Dinos' original sprites before the Great Fog. It is because of this that they have a different art direction than the rest of the dragons on-site, opting for a more light-hearted and cartoonish style. Another theory for this art direction however, is that they're not considered entirely serious in terms of the game's lore, and are seen as more of an on-site joke like the Chickens.

Under the old Breed sort, these creatures sorted as "Yoshi Blue" on a user's scroll. As of August 14, 2016, they now sort using their Encyclopedia name with other non-dragons at the bottom of users' scrolls.

Trivia

The oldest "dragon" on Dragon Cave is a Blue Dino named 0ejxa ev Jb0, which in Saurian translates to Yoshi of Sky. It was stolen on May 26, 2006 and belongs to TJ09.
The original sprites for Dinos didn't have a differing sprite for hatchling and mature hatchlings, much like the Chicken still has today.

+'''Blue Dinos''', or '''Triceratops horridus''', are an original species on the site as well as being among the first creatures ever released on Dragon Cave during its inception on May 21, 2006.

-These "dragons" are not really dragons at all! Based loosely on the sprites from [[w:c:mario:Yoshi|Yoshi]], these shoe-wearing dinos feature a much different, lighthearted style than the more serious dragons. Grown dinos possess no known gender and are therefore unbreedable (however, this is a recent change; dinos in the past were all gendered male and shortly before the change they were also female).
-Dinos come in 5 colors: [[Green Dino|Green]], [[Red Dino|red]], blue, [[Yellow Dino|yellow]] and [[Purple Dino|Purple]]. Purple was the only color not originally on the site from the start and was added recently. The old sprites of the Dinos were actually in fact different colored Yoshi sprites. These Dinos have no Breed Specific Action and are all classed as rare.
