Caligene Dragons, also known as Halloween 2015 Dragons, were released on October 31, 2015, as part of the celebrations for Halloween. Like other Halloween dragons, they did not have a limit of their number per scroll.

They were released in a 24 hour drop, with TJ09 securing four of them with the codes: skull, xbone, 3spky and fivMe. When sorted by "Breed", Caligene dragons are listed as "Halloween 2015" on a user's scroll.

Official Dragon Descriptions

Egg

"The pattern on this egg’s shell is unsettling.."

Hatchling

"Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It skitters around in the shadows, seemingly repelled by light."

Mature Hatchling

"Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It skitters around in the shadows, seemingly repelled by light.
And look! It has grown wings! It must be close to maturing."

Adult

"Caligene Dragons have long been considered omens of death—reinforced by the skeletal markings on their bodies. They exert a malignant force on the world around them, causing other living things to slowly waste away in their presence. Caligenes favor the seasons of summer and autumn, disappearing entirely from the forests they inhabit during winter and spring. These malevolent dragons are physically weak, though this is countered by their natural stealthiness and alarming speed—enabling them to close in on large targets quickly and silently to create ambushes from which prey cannot escape."

Additional Information

“

I wasn't actually aware calligare was a word, I just modified it from caliginous (also of Latin origin and means essentially the same thing...)! XD

~~
So, "a while" ended being "in a few hours" but anyway...some short bits of info XD

The design is based on this species of death's head hawkmoth. :3

They do have four eyes. Caligenes don't like bright light (like sunlight or fire), so they're principally nocturnal. They don't come out during the day unless it's sufficiently dark (for example, heavy canopy that blocks out a lot of the sunlight).

They communicate largely with body language.

Females are a bit taller and a bit more stockily built.

((Quote: So, this 'malignant force' they give off- is it a conscious thing, or are they sorta radioactive?))
Conscious. :3
