Introduction[]

Upon creation of an account, the player must choose a flight to join. Elemental allegiance can later be changed via your Account Settings; the first change is free, but each subsequent change costs 1,500 gems. Switching flights also comes with a six-month cooldown, so be sure to choose carefully!

A player's userpage background and nests will correspond to their chosen flight. All dragons born in the user's nests will be of that flight's element and share its eye color, as well as battle strengths and weaknesses in the Coliseum. Dragons' element/eye color cannot be changed; it is determined at birth, based on the element of the nest that the dragon hatched from. Changing flights will switch the appearance and nests of a user's lair, and hatchlings born afterward will be of the new element.

Each flight has its own private forum that is accessible only to its members and the site's administrators.

The Eleven Flights[]

Eye Color[]

One of the most noticeable flight-based traits is eye color. Depending on which flight a clan belongs to, its hatchlings' eyes will all be of a specific color. On many breeds, the dragon's sclera cannot be seen, but when visible, they are also colored to match the flight, rather than simply being white. Below is a Spiral hatchling clearly displaying both iris and sclera coloration for each flight:

On June 8th, 2018, different Eye Types were introduced. Each flight has different eye tints and styles that can appear randomly when a dragon is hatched; there are currently 8 breedable (or natural) eye types: Common, Uncommon, Unusual, Rare, Faceted, Multi-Gaze, Goat, and Primal. Unnatural eye types, like Glowing or Dark Sclera, are obtainable via items and must be applied to a dragon. Unlike genes, eye types are not inheritable.[1]

  • Earth is well-known for always being the smallest flight. Shadow is currently the largest, with a population of over 90,000.[2]
  • The ability to change flights was added on October 20th, 2013.[3]
