Lumina Dragon (Dragon Cave)

The Lumina Dragon is a type of dragon from the web browser game Dragon Cave.

They were released on 22nd May 2012 as part of the "Happy 6th Birthday" release.

Lumina dragons change colour for 24 hours after they are bred to Turpentines, Waterhorses, or Albinos. This is a reaction to the mildy toxic oil the Turpentines are covered with, as well as the gelatinous goo and oily secretions which Waterhorses and Albinos are respectively covered with. The Luminas remove their scales in order to get rid of the oil or goo, so their colour changes to reflect their scaleless body.

The sprite artist is Corteo.

In-Game Description
Egg: "This egg shines brightly in the sunlight."

Hatchling: "Aww... It's a cute baby dragon. It always seems to be picking over its scales."

Mature Hatchling: "Aww... It's a cute baby dragon. It always seems to be picking over its scales. And look! It's grown its wings! It must be close to maturing."

Adult: "Lumina Dragons received their names from their highly reflective scales, which—at times—seem to glow. They are vain, always strutting about and preening incessantly; if one of their scales has so much as a scratch or a defect, they'll remove it. Luckily, their scales grow back quickly, and each new growth is more beautiful than the last. These narcissistic dragons live in small groups and prefer to surround themselves with beauty. The females guard their territory and eggs while the males search for vegetation to eat."
