Sweetling Dragon

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

They were released on 14th February 2010. Sweetling Dragons are a male-only breed. They are only capable of producing more Sweetlings during a certain period in February, however, they are breedable year-round, producing the female's breed of egg. Each scroll/account is limited to 2 of this breed to prevent hoarding. Any other Sweetling eggs that are obtained are automatically abandoned after 15 minutes.

There was a glitch in the early hours of the 14th that caused the eggs to auto-abandon. As an apology the affected scrolls were given alternate-coloured Sweetlings with the colour scheme of black and red (instead of pink) and a skull and cross bones. These Sweetlings were designed to represent 'Singles Awareness Day,' or 'SAD'.

The sprite artists are Kila & Nepherim.

In-Game Description
Egg: "This egg looks delicate and sweet."

Hatchling: "Aww... It's a cute baby dragon. It's very curious and fond of sweets."

Mature Hatchling: "Aww... It's a cute baby dragon. It's very curious and fond of sweets. And look! It's grown feathers! It must be close to maturing."

Adult: "Sweetlings are a small, flightless breed of dragon. They are herbivores who favor sweet fruits and honey, and have been known to go to great lengths to obtain their favorite treats. Their long, prehensile tails allow them to grab onto branches and give them superior balance. Sweetlings are expressive dragons and have a large array of calls to communicate with others. They become very vocal during breeding season and sing long, beautiful melodies to attract a mate. Inquisitive in nature, Sweetlings are known to investigate anything that piques their interest, and are quick to flee if the object of their curiosity strikes back."
