Purple Dragon (Dragon Cave)

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

It is one of the original dragons and was previously one of the few female-only breeds. However, this changed in a major update on 26 March 2010 and males were introduced. Purples are considered uncommon dragons and, as of June 10 2011, have the breed specific action "Fertility", which increases the chances of a successful breeding attempt, though it does not influence what the species of the egg will be. Fertility has a cooldown of two weeks.

Since the "Happy 6th Birthday" release, it is possible to breed Purple Dragons with Spitfire Dragons to produce Ultraviolet Dragons.

Their eggs can be found in all habitats.

The sprite artists are Dovealove (adult female), Hawaiianbabidoll (adult female), Nakase (adult male) & Lighthealer (hatchling).

In-Game Description
Egg: "Wow, purple isn't a color of egg you expected to see."

Hatchling: "Aww... It's a cute baby dragon. You think it's a girl, although you're not sure how to check."

Mature Hatchling: "Aww... It's a cute baby dragon. You think it's a girl, although you're not sure how to check. And look! It's grown its wings! It must be close to maturing."

Adult: "It was previously believed that purple dragons were exclusively female, but this is not the case. Recent environmental shifts have revealed the existence of both genders of this breed. Female behavior is well known; they are primarily herbivores but will eat meat during mating season. On the other hand, very little is known about the behavior and habits of male purple dragons."
