Information found in the Encyclopedia: Discuss

[LibbyLishly]

The News thread is clogged with a lot of back and forth over whether this is a good feature and there is already a thread to help people find lots of dragons to 'observe', but there isn't really a place yet (as far as I can find; mods, close this if I accidentally duplicated it) to talk about the cool information we're finding out about our long-beloved breeds!

 

Here are the breeds with notes so far, courtesy of angelicdragonpuppy (hidden behind white text in case people missed the memo that spoilers are in this thread):

 

Balloon

Black

Blacktip

Blue-Banded

Canopy

Carmine

Copper

Daydream

Deep Sea

Dorsal

Ember

Gold

Harvest

Hellfire

Horse

Imperial Fleshcrowne

Magi

Nebula

Neglected

Pillow

Pink

Purple

Pygmy

Red

Royal Blue

Silver

Skywing

Speckle-Throated

Spitfire

Spotted Greenwing

Striped

Sunrise

Sunset

Two Headed (Split)

Undead (Zombie)

Water

Waterhorse

White

Chicken

 

So far, I'm fascinated by the fact that there are apparently sea bees that Water dragons eat and that Waterhorses apparently have something against starfish. What wacky things have YOU found?

 

Hopefully we don't have to keep putting everything in white text to hide spoilers and people who don't want spoilers just won't read this thread, but for now I'm doing it out of consideration.

 

While I'm no mod and don't want to be one, please don't use this thread to complain about various technical aspects about the Encyclopedia; there are suggestion threads and the news thread for that.

The one breed I couldn't check last night also has info; please add Undeads (Zombies) to the list!

 

I really love how white hatchlings practice doing rescues; so cute! Although the wording of the adults "May heal other breeds (or provide services to humans) in exchange for favors" seemed odd to me; I figured Whites would just jump to help everyone all the time. Maybe it just means that they SOMETIMES ask something in return, but not always? Otherwise my Whites are just super nice

 

Also a lot of extra love for Coppers, I've always liked their family oriented nature and it just gets sweeter and sweeter as I unlock more.

 

And man, stripes sound so LAZY X___x;;

I haven't unlocked that bit of information yet but absolutely love it! Since 2008 I've had descriptions about greedy Whites who charge 50 gold pieces for any treatment

Edit: found enough hatchies in hatcheries to get the next bit of information. I absolutely love this, I have so many descriptions to write to incorporate a bit of all this new information ^^

Done!

[Sundew]

I think the breed info for Waterhorses absolutely adorable. I mean, I liked them already, but this info has honestly moved them up to perhaps my favorite dragon species.

 

Do Nhiostrifes have breed info?

[Kovia]

Personally I find the last note (that I unlocked anyway) for Chickens hilarious.

 

Found the notes for Magis about apparently teleporting themselves funny too.

 

Also would never have imagined that Balloons are like mockingbirds, the whole mimicking animal sounds thing.

 

The note about white colored Nebulas makes me wonder if that might potentially be a new alt form.

 

Also, Neglecteds ended up being more hardy and adaptable than the breed description makes them sound.

 

Anyway, was great to see extra info on breeds with very vague/short descriptions, like the Golds. Would love to see info on the Cheeses and Papers.

[Dirtytabs]

Striped dragons catching food by simply holding their mouths open is just adorable.

Hellfire wyvern ranks go alpha -> beta -> omega. Just, you know, forget the rest of the alphabet. These guys are so inferior that they're as last as possible.

[angelicdragonpuppy]

Wow, hellfires are straight up NASTY. O___o Encouraging hatchlings to bully each other, eating people, even killing their mates? Dayuuum, son! I'm glad much of their behavior seems to be learned, as otherwise I don't think the rest of my clan would let them anywhere near them ;;

Wolves.

 

The Copper info is so adorable omg

[OtomeKristinOtaku]

I'm really surprised that Blacks have acidic breath

[kitsune93]

Silver dragon eggs are seen everywhere.

I'd like to see this place.

[Cireth]

You have to click 500 adult chickens to get all their info.

 

littleblackdog has over 500 adult chickens on their scroll. Actually half their scroll is chickens.

 

Here is the chicken info (whited out for spoilers. Highlight to see.):

 

Gallus gallus domesticus

 

Found in: All habitats

 

Observations

Hatchling Behavior

 

Chicks are extremely fluffy before feathers grow in.

 

Adult Behavior

 

Appears to be fully domesticated.

No roosters seen, only hens.

Due to the lack of roosters, hens lay unfertilized eggs.

Eggs make great omelettes.

Seriously, where do they come from?

Several dominant birds will often have priority when it comes to food.

[Sundew]

Adolescent dragons are able to show more advanced control of magic than most humans.

 

About Magi hatchlings. I found this very interesting. We must really trust our dragons to be able to collect so many so powerful.

[shanique]

Silver dragon eggs are seen everywhere.

I'd like to see this place.

Hahahaha we all wish.

[Sheriziya]

There's one thing I noticed, not sure if this is a mistake or not:

Yellow-crowned dragons are called Suncrowned dragons in the encyclopedia.

 

Has there been done a renaming which still has to find it's way into the description of the dragon?

[Viirin]

Instead of looking at the encyclopedia (I'm gonna just call it 'bestiary' no matter what), I just played with the bestiary URL and started at 1. What was added to the list? Well, whether it shows up or not in the encyclopedia or not, are these:

I think TJ is messing with me. Either that or he was working his butt off then said to himself "Wait, did I skip one?" or maybe he didn't notice. But I guess from this point on we won't be able to figure out upcoming dragon release names by looking at our own unlocks and the page number in the URL, can we?

[brairtrainer]

I'm using the encyclopidea as an excuse to not do college work and catch up on descriptions

 

I find it a shame my beloved flamingos don't have more information yet, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed they'll get some soon

 

[Ruby Eyes]

Well, on my overview page, all breeds appear unlocked. Thus, I can say that 32 is the Undead Dragon (which means Zombie), while the other two are "unknown" for me, too. Maybe those are reserved but yet invisible for future releases?

 

4: Unknown Breed

32: Unknown Breed

76: Unknown Breed

 

[Viirin]

Good to know, thanks Ruby Eyes! Did clicking on tombstones reveal the sprite?

[Ruby Eyes]

They show up for me in the morning until high noon, due to my timezone. Thus, I clicked most of them as dragons and got them unlocked this way - so I cannot tell.

 

I wonder if the Nocturne outlines in the encyclopedia will show differently depending on the daytime ...

[Viirin]

Yeah, I was actually hoping for day/night sprite differences too.

[Sheriziya]

Good to know, thanks Ruby Eyes! Did clicking on tombstones reveal the sprite?

I can confirm this. Although I'm in Europe I haven't been clicking dragons during DC's night time, or didn't find any durign my clicking time. I only saw them durign the other times.

What I like about Coppers is that

they are adventurous and playful as hatchlings.

Also,

SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSS I might start a lineage just about that .

 

Spoilers in white.

I don't think we need to hide info after the first page

There's one thing I noticed, not sure if this is a mistake or not:

Yellow-crowned dragons are called Suncrowned dragons in the encyclopedia.

It's their breed-sort name. When you use "breed sort" you may notice that they don't sort where they should, would they be sorted after their public name.

 

There are quite a few dragons which don't sort by their "public" name when sorted by breed:

• Avatar of Change sorts as "Lugiaavatar" (sorts between Avatar of Destruction and Avatar of Creation)
• Avatar of Creation sorts as "Lugiaavatar" (sorts between Avatar of Change and Lumina Dragon)
• Avatar of Destruction sorts as "Lugiaavatar" (sorts between Guardian of Nature and Avatar of Change)
• Day Glory Drake sorts as "Glorydrake"
• Dark Myst Pygmy sorts as "Pygmy-DarkMyst"
• Coastal Waverunner sorts as "Coastalptredrake"
• Crimson Flare Pygmy sorts as "Pygmy-CrimsonFlare"
• Gilded Bloodscale Dragon sorts as "Bloodscale"
• Golden Wyvern sorts as "GWyvern"
• Gold-horned Tangar sorts as "Tangar"
• Guardian of Nature Dragon sorts as "Lugia" (as a reference to Pokémon)
• Imperial Fleshcrownes sorts as "Fleshcrownes"
• Night Glory Drake sorts as "Glorydrake"
• Misfit Pygmy sorts as "Pygmy-Misfit"
• Neglected Dragon sorts as "Sick"
• Nhiostrife Wyvern sorts as "Twister"
• Nilia Pygmy sorts as "Pygmy-Nilia"
• Red-Finned Tidal Dragon sorts as "Tidal"
• Shallow Water Dragon sorts as "Goldfish"
• Shimmer-scale Dragon sorts as "Prize 2012"
• Spotted Greenwing sorts as "Greenwing"
• Tinsel Dragon sorts as "Prize 2010"
• Two-Finned Bluna sorts as "Blunas"
• Two-headed Dragon sorts as "2head"
• Two-headed Lindwurm sorts as "2headcrypt"
• Water Dragon sorts as "Light-Blue"
• Yellow-Crowned Dragon sorts as "Suncrowned"Dinos
• Blue Dino sorts as "Yoshi-Blue"
• Green Dino sorts as "Yoshi-Green"
• Purple Dino sorts as "Yoshi-Purple"
• Red Dino sorts as "Yoshi-Red"
• Yellow Dino sorts as "Yoshi-Yellow"Holiday Dragons

   

  Valentine's Day

• Valentine Dragon sorts as "Valentine 2009"
• Sweetling sorts as "Valentine 2010"
• Rosebud Dragon sorts as "Valentine 2011"
• Heartseeker Dragon sorts as "Valentine 2012"
• Arsani Dragon sorts as "Valentine 2013"
• Radiant Angel Dragon sorts as "Valentine 2014"

   

  Halloween

• (Vampire Dragon is the only Halloween dragon which sorts by its given name "Vampire Dragon")
• Pumpkin Dragon sorts as "Halloween 2009"
• Black Marrow sorts as "Halloween 2010"
• Shadow Walker sorts as "Halloween 2011"
• Cavern Lurker sorts as "Halloween 2012"
• Grave Dragon sorts as "Halloween 2013"

   

  Christmas

• Holly sorts as "Christmas 2007"
• Yulebuck sorts as "Christmas 2008"
• Snow Angel sorts as "Christmas 2009"
• Ribbon Dancer sorts as "Christmas 2010"
• Winter Magi sorts as "Christmas 2011"
• Wrapping Wing sorts as "Christmas 2012"
• Solstice Dragon sorts as "Christmas 2013"

[Sheriziya]

Ah, that explains it Although I would have expected the encyclopedia to only use the "official" names for the dragons, as in the names that appear in the official descriptions. That'd be more logical for me. After all, the other names aren't widely known (as far to my knowledge anyway).

 

Thanks for your explanation!
