I love both of the adults, but I like the male a bit more xd.png Overall, I think the bright aqua spikes are a nice touch. Without them, the wyverns may have been a bit plain for me.

Think all my eggs but one are from 5-minute drops-- I have no luck at all with the hourly drops. Statistically it makes no sense... better luck with 1 second drops, worse luck with 1 minute long drops? I'm just a freak I guess, lol =(

I don't bother with the hourly. I've only gotten two from the hourly drops and ten from the 5 minute drops. I did get an internet update though, which is helping. I remember trying the 5 minute drops and being lucky to catch an egg on one.

Tri-Horn Wyvern Information

 

So, now that I'm awake, let's post some fun facts!

 

- I based a lot of their behavior off wolves and mountain goats. I just made them a wyvern because I thought it would look cool.

 

- These dragons tend to live in mountains. Their brown, black and grey scales originally evolved as camouflage for these environments, until they grew large and deadly enough that they could afford the bright blue colouring.

 

 

- They live in packs with an average of fifteen members, plus their eggs and hatchlings. Young adults will often leave their pack to either find or establish a new one.

 

- In size, they’re about a third taller than a fully grown man. So while they’re hardly the largest species in the dragon cave universe, I really wouldn’t want to get one on my bad side, especially if they had their pack with them.

 

 

- In size, shape and behavior, there’s very little sexual dimorphism for this breed. Females do tend to take care of the young more- a difficult task. They must not only feed them and keep them from getting hurt, but train them in flying, hunting and fighting. Males tend to patrol the perimeter while this is going on, though occasionally individuals will do the roles of their opposite sex.

 

- Hatchlings begin training from almost the moment they leave their egg. One of the most popular games is “catch mommy’s tail”, which at first consists of mom dangling it in front of their mouths while the hatchy ineffectually tries to catch it. When they’re older it becomes more of a game of tag. Once the hatchling actually manages to catch the tail, they are moved onto live prey, usually something like a practice hare.

 

- Both males and females compete with one-another for the right to mate, though the males slightly more. This rarely becomes life threatening, however. The fights tend to be a lot of roaring, posturing and clashing of their horns, which evolved primarily for their purpose. While the species relishes fighting, they’re also very pragmatic. They know that if they injure another pack member by in-fighting, they’ll be weaker if they come against an outside threat, so the “fighting” is more like “really scary dance-offs”. xd.png

 

 

- Trihorn Wyverns are adapted for endurance. They live in more extreme environments, and so are very good at conserving energy for the long run. When hunting, they try to wear their prey out, chasing after it for long periods of time until it is too exhausted to escape or fight back.

 

- They are almost entirely carnivorous, though they may eat berries or the like if they get really desperate. It doesn't happen often, however.

 

- They tend to be rather serious and practical, and look down on anybody (or any species) that is too laid back or joking.

 

(I’m not sure why they’re in the desert biome right now; though they were created before biomes were implemented, so I never specified. However, as someone previously mentioned, there are cold deserts, and even hot ones can get chilly at night.)

 

Once again, thank you to all the artists who helped with this, and TJ. I hoped you all enjoyed the release. biggrin.gif

The adults look awesome. I remember seeing these way back and wanting them. Great job, Completely Different!

Did the hourly drop in the desert seriously go by in less than a minute? I didn't even see a single egg.

 

I can see why some people are saying they only hunt on the 5's, if that's the case.

 

At any rate - great job with these dragons, both artists and Completely Different. smile.gif

Here's hoping I can add at least one to my scroll in the short-term... tongue.gif

You could ask TJ to add them to the Alpine (or just entirely move them there?) smile.gif

Wow thee adults are amazing! smile.gif I love how big they are, and I kind of want to make all mine female.. smile.gif

Thank you TJ and Spriter! smile.gif

 

Edit:

Also random question but these are Wyverns, who live in mountains with snow.. So why are they in the desert? Shouldn't they be in the alpine? Just wondering.

I love them. I love everything about them and those extra facts "endeared" them to me more. xd.png

 

Thank you Completely Different, Angziety, Skinst and TJ - what a wonderful release. ^^

 

The sprites are gorgeous! (I'm glad I stayed up way too late last night to snag two more when the traffic was lighter)

After 36 hrs of trying to catch these beauties, I finally caught enough so my mother and I can have an even set of 4 each. smile.gif Love how big these dragons are! smile.gif

Looks like the 5 min drops will be unavailable for a while. The AP override is working again. blink.gif

sad.gif I guess I will not be catching any more to gift, then. The 5 min drops were my only hope.

Aww yiss~ This wyvern was one of my favorite projects from the Completed list, great to see it finally in the cave.

I guess I'm sorta confused. If these wyverns live in the mountains, why were they dropped in the Desert, which is always filled with people egg-snagging all the other goodies? Why not the Alpine area, which is - MOUNTAINS?

 

LOVE these! Way to go artists, spriters and all involved!! Very well done indeed!

Omgsh I love the adults. I adore Wyverns...

 

And thanks for the fascinating info on your dragons, Completely Different! Hopefully the wiki folks have added it, or will be getting to that. Many congrats to you and all the spriters. wub.gif
