'''Ribbon Dancers''', or '''Holiday 2010 Dragons''', were the all-female [[:Category:Holiday|Holiday]] species given out during [[:Category:Christmas|Christmas]] of 2010. They are only capable of producing more Ribbon Dancer eggs during a certain period when Christmas is celebrated in December. They can still be bred to all year round, producing the male's breed of egg. Each scroll/account is currently limited to 2 CBs of this breed, like all other [[:Category:Christmas Dragons|Christmas dragons]].
   
  +
In the past, this breed was limited to 2 per scroll/account, whether bred or CB. Any other Ribbon Dancer eggs that were obtained were automatically abandoned if picked up in the abandoned page or main cave, and after 30 minutes if bred. Under the old Breed sort, these dragons sorted as "Christmas 2010 Dragon" on a user's scroll. As of August 14, 2016, they now sort using their Encyclopedia name of "Holiday Dragon (2010)".
'''Ribbon Dancers''', also known as '''Christmas Dragons '10''', were released for three days starting [[Dragon Release Timeline|Christmas of 2010]] with a limit of two per scroll. They are a female-only breed of dragon. The release began Christmas Day, 2010, and continued though to December 28th (11:59:59 PM Dec 27th), dropping exclusively in the cave. Although the cave could be emptied out, no other types of eggs appeared during this time.
 
   
 
==Official Dragon Descriptions==
They are only able to reproduce the week surrounding Christmas Day, though can still breed with other males and produce the male's breed of egg during the rest of the year. It is therefore implied the only time you can get a Ribbon Dancer egg is during Christmas time when Ribbon Dancers are able to produce their own eggs again. They are classed as rare.

The concept creator and spriter, LadyLyzar, provided some detailed information on the dragons and their behavior:
 
 
: ''"Ribbon Dancers have very small reflective scales, which are nearly invisible unless viewing them up close. This contributes to their bright, nearly mirror-like luster. They are active only on clear moonlit nights, and are strictly herbrivores '''(sic)'''. Moonlight reflects off their bright scales and ribbons, which dazzles and confuses predators that would otherwise be attracted by their bright colors.''
 
 
: ''The "ribbons" trailing from their backs and tails are actually elongated hollow flaps of skin, covered with the same type of fine scales as the rest of their bodies. When the ribbons strike each other, they make a metallic tinkling sound similar to wind chimes.''
 
   
  +
===Sprites No Longer In-Use===
: ''Each Ribbon Dancer has a unique dance that she performs when she greets another Ribbon Dancer. This helps them identify each other. Large flocks of these dragons greeting one another is quite a sight to behold, due to their reflective bodies and jingling ribbons.''

Ribbon Dancers, or Holiday 2010 Dragons, were the all-female Holiday species given out during Christmas of 2010. They are only capable of producing more Ribbon Dancer eggs during a certain period when Christmas is celebrated in December. They can still be bred to all year round, producing the male's breed of egg. Each scroll/account is currently limited to 2 CBs of this breed, like all other Christmas dragons.

In the past, this breed was limited to 2 per scroll/account, whether bred or CB. Any other Ribbon Dancer eggs that were obtained were automatically abandoned if picked up in the abandoned page or main cave, and after 30 minutes if bred. Under the old Breed sort, these dragons sorted as "Christmas 2010 Dragon" on a user's scroll. As of August 14, 2016, they now sort using their Encyclopedia name of "Holiday Dragon (2010)".

Additional Information

Ribbon Dancers have very small reflective scales, which are nearly invisible unless viewing them up close. This contributes to their bright, nearly mirror-like luster. They are active only on clear moonlit nights, and are strictly herbrivores [sic]. Moonlight reflects off their bright scales and ribbons, which dazzles and confuses predators that would otherwise be attracted by their bright colors.

The "ribbons" trailing from their backs and tails are actually elongated hollow flaps of skin, covered with the same type of fine scales as the rest of their bodies. When the ribbons strike each other, they make a metallic tinkling sound similar to wind chimes.

Each Ribbon Dancer has a unique dance that she performs when she greets another Ribbon Dancer. This helps them identify each other. Large flocks of these dragons greeting one another is quite a sight to behold, due to their reflective bodies and jingling ribbons.

When a Ribbon Dancer moves into an area, she actively seeks out the lairs of other dragons and leaves behind a gift of some kind -- usually a gold object from her hoard -- as a peace offering. With the gift, she always leaves behind one of her "ribbons" so that the other dragons will know her scent.
