Ridgewing Dragons were released in the 55 Days release on August 28, 2010, along with the Flamingo Wyverns. The release was named due to the amount of time that lapsed since the the prior release (55 days).
Ridgewings breed like commons, but with the color of the dragon randomized between the purple and tan versions. However, the tan version is rarer and can be comparable to Red Dorsal Dragons or red and green Nebula Dragons. Ridgewings currently have no breed specific action.
Previously, Ridgewing dragons had been set with this hatchling description:
Aww... It's a cute baby dragon. It was born with a full set of wings.
And look! It's grown its wings.' It must be close to maturing.
This sparked many jokes on the forum and IRC alike. Since then, their descriptions have been changed.
Official Dragon Description
Egg
"A cool mountain breeze blows around this egg."
Hatchling
"Aww... It's a cute baby dragon. It was born with a full set of wings."
Mature Hatchling
"Aww... It's a cute baby dragon. It was born with a full set of wings. And look! It's wings have grown larger! It must be close to maturing."
Adult
"Ridgewing dragons live just below the snow level on the upper slopes of mountains. They are a friendly, playful breed and enjoy dancing in wind currents near their homes or plummeting down into valleys from great heights. Their wings, by far their most striking feature, grow in fin-like ridges along their backs. While their bodies lack markings to blend better with their surroundings, a Ridgewing dragon's wings have bright markings in the colors of the flowers that grow in their mountain habitat. Occasionally different-colored individuals can be found, but they are rare because their striking coloring offers little protection."
