Posted December 19, 2012 Hollies are certainly the rarest dragon on Dragon Cave, and I wanted to see how large the population is. Holly Dragons were almost unknown before the "new blood" came out last Christmas and the Christmas before for Honorable Mentions or Raffle Winners. It doesn't sound like new CB Hollies are oing to happen this year. Do you think the population will be able to increase as DC grows over the years until most users will be able to get one? The Holly population, like all the Christmas Dragons, can as much as quadruple every Holiday Season. Since one can only keep 1 egg from a breeding, and since everyone can only ever have 2 total; this leads to a large percentage of the new Holly eggs going to the Abandoned Page. I wonder how hard they will be to catch this year? If every existing Holly always bred 4 eggs, and each user took only 1 egg, 1000 Hollies before Christmas means a total of 5000 Holly owners after the holidays are over. Next year there would be 20,000 new Holly eggs, and the year after there would be 125,000 total Hollies. Of course, we probably don't have that many Hollies, and most broods are smaller than 4, plus plenty of people will want the maximum of 2 eggs, so that means half as many owners. But it is nice to think of Hollies breeding large numbers when most everyone wants one so badly now. Share this post Link to post
Posted December 19, 2012 I have two. I've bred one already this season, and she produced two offspring. The other is still yet to be bred (but her offspring is promised). Share this post Link to post
Posted December 19, 2012 I haven't got any Holly and I'd like to have one... Share this post Link to post
Posted December 19, 2012 I saw some Hollies on the AP today, but so far I wasn't lucky. It's k´getting kind of frustrating, Hollies are the only breed left that I don't have yet. Share this post Link to post
Posted December 19, 2012 I saw tons of hollies i could not catch even one yet i really want one looks like im holly-less again this year :c People are breeding them though but they go by so fast Share this post Link to post
Posted December 19, 2012 I have one of the honorable mentions from last year. I've already bred her, and right now I'm not sure if she produced 2 or 3 offspring. I swear there were 3, but apparently one has ceased to exist. Share this post Link to post
Posted December 19, 2012 I traded for one last night. Super excited about it. <3 Share this post Link to post
Posted December 19, 2012 I have two adults, I breed one today and gifted the egg. And I will breed the other one too. Share this post Link to post

I swear there were 3, but apparently one has ceased to exist. If the recipient fogged the egg, you won't be able to see it. (However, if it were dead, you would see the broken egg, I think.)

Posted December 19, 2012 I've been a member since 2008 and still don't have one. Been stalking the cave for the past 11 hrs or so and clicked on 70 plus hollies but didn't manage to get one. I had no idea I was that bad at catching. D Hopefully because there will be even more born next year I can snag one then but I'm kinda sad they're becoming less rare. Share this post Link to post
Posted December 19, 2012 I have two adult Hollies. Both have been bred and eggs gifted (with one egg that went to the AP to some lucky person due to a multiclutch). Share this post Link to post
Posted December 20, 2012 I picked up a messy lineaged one in the AP last night~ Share this post Link to post
Posted December 20, 2012 I picked up one after refreshing my eyes out. It does not have an amazing lineage but it's not bad either, and most important it's not inbred. I'm happy! I'd like to say a big thank you to whoever bred it. And good luck to everyone who's still trying to catch one, don't give up! Share this post Link to post
Posted December 20, 2012 How have hollies been breeding so far? I think last year people were mostly getting 1, maybe 2 eggs per breeding. Is it the same this year so far? Share this post Link to post
Posted December 20, 2012 I got an IOU'd Holly this year. Beautiful even-gen 3rd gen Thuwed. <3 Also owed a messy one that I'm going to freeze. Share this post Link to post
Posted December 20, 2012 I finally caught a lovely Holly 7G Even Thuwed Checker <3 Share this post Link to post
Posted December 20, 2012 I've had the pleasure of seeing one a couple of times. Close, but far away. Share this post Link to post
Posted December 20, 2012 I'm still looking, and have been trying to catch a Holly egg since the event started in the early hours of the morning! I can't even count how many eggs I've missed! It's probably close to 50+ now! It just figures that the one Christmas dragon that I need to complete my collection and have been waiting several years for, is the one that is impossible for me to catch!

Posted December 20, 2012 Seen several, which is quite a nice change. But no luck nabbing any that I've seen. But really, it IS nice to at least see them now. Before we'd be lucky to see one at all. Especially since most got sold/gifted via the abandoned code trick. Share this post Link to post
Posted December 20, 2012 I got two holly eggs this year. Been playing since the CB Yules came out. Share this post Link to post
Posted December 20, 2012 I've seen Holly eggs in the AP but don't have one yet. They seem to be slightly more common this year, so fingers crossed I get one. Share this post Link to post
Posted December 20, 2012 ive seen a few in the ap... missed all of them :/ its sad D: i hope ones who got them are happy though ^^ Share this post Link to post
Posted December 20, 2012 I have a 4th even gen adult that I was gifted by a wonderful person last year, & snagged a 3rd gen early this morning by sitting in one spot in the AP & going on a click-frenzy whenever one popped under the cursor. I bred my adult a little while ago, & he threw 4 eggs. Share this post Link to post
Posted December 20, 2012 I think hollies are easier to catch this year. The last two years I hunted forever and barely saw any. I only managed to get my long lineaged ugly Dorkface by trading a nice shiny for it. This year I managed to snag two in the first hour and a half. One is a rather messy sixth gen that I'll freeze, the other is a lovely 4th gen stair influenced to keep pattern. Share this post Link to post
Posted December 20, 2012 I managed to catch the very first Holly I saw last night, followed by a second accidentally(I never got the get code page, but sure enough when I looked, there it was). I gifted that second one to somebody who didn't have one. When I woke up this morning, I caught a third one . Birthday luck must have kicked in, because I never thought I would get one.
