Pink Dragons, also called New Pink dragons, are a replacement breed designed as a substitution for the phasing out of the old pink breed.
Also known as "BSA pinks", this new pink breed is well-known for its Breed Specific Action that influences the gender of eggs with more than 3 days of remaining life. Influenced eggs have a far higher chance of maturing into the gender of the influencer.
Unlike the past pink dragon, new pinks can be male. They also share an egg description with the Flamingo Wyvern. New Pinks used to replace the offspring of Bright Pink dragons when it was retired, and new Pinks could be obtained from any pairing involving either new Pinks or old Pinks as a parent. This feature has since been partially carried over since the re-release of Bright Pinks as Aria Dragons, where on occasion, an Aria may produce Pink offspring.
Official Dragon Descriptions
Egg
"It's bright. And pink."
Hatchling
"Aww... it's a cute baby dragon."
Mature Hatchling
"Aww... it's a cute baby dragon.
And look! It's grown its wings! It must be close to maturing."
Adult
"Pink dragons are primarily herbivores, and only eat meat during the mating season, when mates will exchange kills. When it is not breeding season, pink dragons spend most of their time incubating eggs and caring for their clan's young. Due to their feminine color, it was traditionally thought that pink dragons were a strictly female breed, but this is not true."
