We don’t quite have nine breeds to celebrate nine years of dragons (you’re welcome), but we hope you enjoy these three new breeds. Go grab them from the alpine, forest, and desert.
Hooktalon Dragons
- The surface of this egg is rough and sharp.
- Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It has two heads and growls at you occasionally.
- And look! It has grown wings! It must be close to maturing.
(m) (f) - Hooktalon Dragons are a two-headed breed named for the long, curved claw that grows on the first finger of each of their hands. Their skin is tough and covered in razor sharp, tooth-like scales, and as they age they grow a dense, keratinous club on the end of their tail. Wild Hooktalons live in migratory, matriarchal clans around deserts and hot scrublands, hunting and stealing kills from other dragons as they please. They are notoriously ill-tempered and the females, being the largest and most aggressive of their kind, will often lash out at their male counterparts in brief, explosive disputes over anything and everything. The only creature with which a Hooktalon will not fight is itself: though the dragon has two heads and thus two brains, a strong connection between its brains allows them to function as one.

Greater Spotted Drakes
Greater Spotted Drakes
- This egg is speckled with rosette-like markings.
- Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It blends in very well when it hides in tall grass.
- And look! It has grown wings! It must be close to maturing.
- Greater Spotted Drakes are found in open pine and oak forests. They are among the larger end of the spectrum, but are quite laid back and feed mostly on plant material. They are ambush predators and rely on their dappled markings for camouflage. Females are usually larger than males, though males are brighter in color. In the breeding season the male attracts a mate by making loud, low-pitched bugles, followed by an aerial courtship dance to as proof of his quality as a father to her offspring.

Magelight Pygmy Wyverns
Magelight Pygmy Wyverns
- This small egg is engulfed in a cool, purple flame.
- Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. The flame on its tail casts a flickering light.
- And look! It has grown wings! It must be close to maturing.
(m) (f) - Magelight Pygmy Wyverns make their homes deep under the earth, and produce a flammable, oily secretion from the tips of their tails to make light. The substance is long-burning, and brooding mothers douse their eggs in the oil while they incubate. Hatchlings’ tails subsequently catch fire at birth after coming into contact with their burning shells. Magelights are useful to human miners, as they are docile and easily trained to alert to the presence of methane damps, caved sections of tunnel, and proximity of nearby dragons to ensure the safety of crews.
