At each stage of growth, there are several actions that may be performed on an egg, hatchling, or dragon. To access a creature’s actions, click on “Dragons” from the top menu, then click on the link labeled “Actions” next to the creature you want to perform an action on.

Abandon

Abandoning an egg or hatchling will cause it to be sent to the abandoned area, where others can pick it up. This action is not always successful; hatchlings may choose not to stay by the cave and may follow you back.

Breed

Breeding allows you to obtain more eggs. When you breed a dragon, you will be presented with a list of eligible dragons. Upon choosing a partner, you will be presented with the results of the breeding attempt. There can be several outcomes:

• “The dragons refuse to even go near each other.”—This pairing of dragons is incompatible and will never breed successfully.
• “The dragons don’t really show much interest in each other.”—The dragons are compatible, but are not a very good pairing. Note that there is a “spectrum” of compatibility; most pairings will occasionally show no interest, but it might occur more frequently for some pairs than others.
• “You attempt to breed the two dragons, but no egg is produced.”—The breeding was not successful. You should try again after seven days.
• “The two dragons breed to produce an egg.”—Success!
• “The two dragons breed to produce several eggs.”—Breeding may sometimes produce up to four eggs, but you are only allowed to keep one from each batch. The other eggs that you decide not to keep will be abandoned automatically.

Describe

This action enables you to customize your dragons with a personal description. Descriptions must adhere to the description guidelines and must be approved by a site moderator before they can be seen by others. If your dragon’s description is approved, it will appear at the bottom of its info page.

Freeze

The Freeze action allows you to prevent a hatchling from becoming an adult. A frozen hatchling will cease to accumulate views, unique views, and clicks.

Hide

Hiding an egg or hatchling will prevent others from viewing it and thus prevent it from accumulating views, unique views, and clicks. The only action available to hidden eggs and hatchlings is “unhide.” Eggs and hatchlings may still die while hidden.

Kill

Killing an egg, hatchling, or adult will cause it to die and eventually be removed from your scroll. This action is not always successful and hatchlings or adults may resist your attempts to kill them.

Name

Naming a hatchling or dragon is one of the ways through which you can personalize your dragons. Each name is unique; no two dragons can have the same name. Names are non permanent; once named, a dragon’s name can be changed or removed. Names can only contain letters, numbers, spaces, apostrophes, and dashes.

Release

Releasing a hatchling or dragon removes it from your scroll without killing it. Dragons that have been released have no owner and cannot be picked up by another user; released dragons become "wild" and can be seen in the wilderness.

Revive

The revive action has a small chance of bringing a dead dragon back to life. If it fails, then the dragon is permanently dead.

Breed-Specific Actions

Some breeds of dragons have special abilities. These abilities can be used by living adults from their actions page and may interact with any dragons, eggs or hatchlings you may have.

You can quickly see a list of your dragons with Breed-Specific Actions by selecting “Available for BSA” filter from the Dragons page.

Earthquake

The earthquake action has a chance of forcing your eggs to hatch earlier than they normally would. However, there is also a risk that some of your eggs may die in the process.

Fertility

Fertility allows you to increase the chance that a certain dragon will breed successfully. To use it, click the action, then select one of your dragons. The next time that selected dragon breeds (regardless of mate), its chance of producing an egg will be increased. If used on both dragons in a pairing, the effect will only be applied once, but both dragons will “use” their extra fertility.

Incubate

Incubating an egg removes one day from its timer, enabling it to hatch faster.

Influence

This action enables you to ensure an egg will be either male or female, based on the dragon that uses this action.

Precognition

Reveals whether an egg or hatchling is male or female.

Remove Curse

Remove Curse permanently removes an undead from your account. The removal is immediate.

Stun

Stun adds an extra day to the timer of a hatchling, while also preventing it from receiving views for two days. While unable to receive views, a hatchling cannot reach adulthood.

Teleport

Teleporting allows you to send eggs and hatchlings to other users. You can create one-way transfers and two-way trades.

Ward

Prevents an egg from dying of sickness for six hours.
