OoooooH, soooo pretty.

 

Does anyone know the who the artist is?

[Riverwillows]

LadyLyzar is the very talented artist.

[Lexadin]

I gotta say these look majestic as heck! I like them.

Tho this just confirms my suspicion of them becoming a rare breed (like CB Seasonals).

But at least they spawn in 3 biomes.

[Red2111]

Stripes are not random.

they are if you breed em PB or Stripe x Stripe.

OMG these are fantabulous!!!!!!!!!! I love them all

 

Thank you TJ and LadyLyzar!!!!!!!!!!!

You can find out the artist by looking at the bottom of a dragon's page.

 

In this case it is LadyLyzar.

Updating the summary. Tell me if I missed anything.

 

A CURRENT SUMMARY OF WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT THE MOON AND EGGS:

(For everybody who was late to the party and/or wants updates)

 

- We have Beautiful pseudo-six-winged Adults!! And a name, Lunar Heralds!

- Currently, both Aurax (Gold Moon), and Cirion (Blue Moon) are still in the  Waning Gibbous phase.

- Everyone has only captured Gold eggs thus far.

- The eggs are found in the Alpine, Desert, and Volcano Biomes. (Think places where the sky is easily seen.)

- No one had been tracking the moons until now, so we have no idea how quickly they change. So, we cannot accurately predict what eggs will come when.

- That means no one knows how to get the other egg colors until the other moon phases come and the lunar cycle completes itself.

- Despite this, many theories on how the eggs will come and when, including, but not limited to:

• 1) Certain eggs being available during different phases of the moons in general, under the assumption that the moons are in synch, and will share the same moon phases.

2) Certain eggs being avaliable relative to the different phases of each moon (assuming the moons are NOT in synch) and overlap between both moons' phases.

3) One moon's phases controlling cave-born colors and the other moon's phases controlling bred colors.

4) Certain Lunar eggs colors are linked to Aurax, and the other colors are linked to Cirion.

5) Gold is the CB color, and the other could be Bred colors.

 

 

 

- Exactly which moon phase produces what eggs, which moon controls breeding and caveborn colors, and which colors are associated with which moon are up for debate.

- There are also theories about the DC lunar cycle itself, including, but not limited to:

• 1) The Moons are in synch and share phases.

2) The Moons are NOT in synch, and occasionally have overlapping phases.

3) The DC Lunar cycle is equivalent to Earth's Lunar cycle, and the current phase will change in at  most a week.

 

 

 

- And there more theories on the size of the moons, their relative speeds, their distance from Valkemare, and the list goes on.

- LadyLyzar will tells us more about the dragons, once we start getting adults.

- TJ revealed that Valkemare is much larger than it's moons, and due to that the moons orbit relatively close to the planet.

- LadyLyzar seems to hint that the Lunar Heralds may have been initially intended to be prize dragons and she confirms that the 2nd and 3rd set of wings are in fact illusions. Only the top ones are real.

 

And, I think that's it for the summary.

 

Edit: Added more theories.

Edit2: And more theories.

Good Lord, these are magnificent!

[JavaTigress]

At least, for the seasonals, you knew when they were coming.

We have no ideas for these guys.

Imagine if Valkemare's moons actually had lunar cycles that were longer than earths? We could be waiting for 2 months or longer!

- Though I don't know if that would actually work out if Valkemare is the same size as Earth. If Valkemare is bigger than earth, well then, who knows how it would work.

I am not SURE but I seem to recall TJ saying someplace that Valkemere IS bigger than earth. * IF I am wrong on that please do correct me*.

[LadyLyzar]

You know.....the Gold, Silver, and Bronze (brown) ones could have been the next type of Prize dragons, they are that pretty.

Funny you should mention that.

[Twyro]

Funny you should mention that.

Wait a minute and you'll see that they were initially supposed to be.

[ShorahNagi]

*looks at the adults - starts trying to decide which one is her favorite*

 

Have to say - they are all amazing!

 

Thank you LadyLyzar and TJ for bringing us these awesome dragons.

[Ansela Jonla]

Ooh, two of my hatchlings have matured.

[Toyo]

Ok, those of you with CB prizes....I am gonna be expecting some nice lines with these!!!!

You're not even going to have to twist my arm. These are gorgeous!

 

Now where are the other colors? GIMME.

[Vhale]

These are utterly lovely, and if they were meant to be prizes I am glad they are not. The wings remind me of dragon flys with the double wings.

[Amazon_warrior]

Oh yes indeed!

 

And my first hatchies are starting to gender! *pets the shiny lil female fondly*

[daba555]

I'm still seeing 3 wings....or at least 2 major wings, and a third smaller one?

 

Anyway, these are stunningly gorgeous!

 

And I get it, when you breed, the offpsring will be the color of the moon phase you're in. Yeah! Great lineage opportunites here

 

Really, truly, wonderul!!!!

 

THANK YOU

Let's say if they were supposed to be prize dragons - I'm glad they're not mainly because... if the prizes are golden, silver and bronze, we wouldn't have these gorgeous blue dragons!

[JavaTigress]

These are utterly lovely, and if they were meant to be prizes I am glad they are not. The wings remind me of dragon flys with the double wings.

Or fairies. They sort of have a fairy-ish look about them, with those wings, I think.

[Amazon_warrior]

Let's say if they were supposed to be prize dragons - I'm glad they're not mainly because... if the prizes are golden, silver and bronze, we wouldn't have these gorgeous blue dragons!

I'm guessing the blue one would have been Lyz's alt, if they'd been released as prizes.

[Ashywolf]

I guessed like others that these guys would follow the "waning gibbous, waxing gibbous, waning crescent, waxing crescent cycle". But as the description says it depends on the amount of light the egg receives, doesn't that rule out that option? Is there not the same amount of light during both gibbous and both crescents?

[Tawanda001]

These new dragons are so adorable. I dunno why but I instantly think of dragonflies whenever I see them.

My first thought too, and I love watching dragonflies flitting around a pond, so pretty, like a piece of living jewelry.

[Stellaluna22]

I created a thread dedicated to these guys, if you guys want to plan your breeding stuff or naming, go take a peek at it ^.^

 

I purposely piled breeding and naming into one, because, why have them in two

[stagazer_7]

Just saw the adults - I have no idea how these guys fly with 3 sets of wings, but I like how they look. They're also really pretty in lineage viewer, I'm looking forward to creating some nice checkers with all of them! Great work and thank you LadyLyzar and TJ for another awesome release!

Oh HECK yes these babies are my new hoard!
