Nocturne Dragon (Dragon Cave)

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

They were released on the 15th January 2010. They are considered common dragons and currently have no breed specific action. Nocturne dragons are the only dragon breed to have a changing sprite. The type of dragon you get does not depend on what time it hatches; hatchling and adult sprites change between two forms based upon the time of day. The stonelike "Day form" takes effect at 6am Eastern Standard Time (EST) and the lively "Night form" can be seen after 6pm EST.

Their eggs can be found in the alpine and forest habitats.

The sprite artists are Corteo (all), Hypnotic (all), Mieronna (all), Kuraianubis (female adult night form), Nepherim (female adult night form).

In-Game Description
Egg: "This egg appears to be made of limestone."

Hatchling: "Aww... It's a cute baby dragon. You find it odd that the hatchling doesn't move at all during the day, but at night its colors change and it is full of energy."

Mature Hatchling: "Aww... It's a cute baby dragon. You find it odd that the hatchling doesn't move at all during the day, but at night its colors change and it is full of energy. And look! It's grown its wings! It must be close to maturing."

Adult: "Nocturne dragons are a strange breed. Whenever light strikes their bodies, they are frozen in whatever position they were in. This leaves them vulnerable and they rely on camoflague to keep themselves safe. They are often mistaken for statues when in this frozen state, but Nocturne dragons do not actually turn into stone. Rather, they merely idle until the sun goes down. At night, these dragons come to life, proving themselves to be powerful fliers, although little else is known about their true behavior."
