Aegis Dragons, or Holiday 2015 Dragons, were the all-male Holiday species given out during Christmas of 2015. They are only capable of producing more Aegis eggs during a certain period when Christmas is celebrated in December. They can still be bred to all year round, producing the female's breed of egg. Each scroll/account is currently limited to 2 CBs of this breed, like all other Christmas dragons. They are the first in the line of Christmas dragons to not be a Western dragon.

This dragon is the second holiday dragon to receive a Breed Specific Action, after the Vampire Dragon. Their action, called "Enrage", changes the adult's physical appearance until the reversing action of "Pacify" is used to calm them down. The "Enrage" action can only be performed if there are dead eggs, hatchlings or dragons on the user's scroll. The reversing action of "Pacify" can only be used when any dead eggs, hatchlings or dragons on the user's scroll have disappeared. An Aegis dragon may remain permanently in its Enraged form so long as the user never uses "Pacify".

Under the old Breed sort, these dragons sorted as "Christmas 2015 Dragon" on a user's scroll. As of August 14, 2016, they now sort using their Encyclopedia name of "Holiday Dragon (2015)".

Official Dragon Descriptions

Egg

"A wintry chill swirls just beneath the surface of this egg."

Hatchling

"Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It’s very festively colored."

Mature Hatchling

"Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It’s very festively colored.
And look! It's grown a dense mane! It must be close to maturing."

Adult

"Holiday dragons are a very mysterious breed. They are only seen during winter, and even then it is hard to catch a glimpse of one. They are responsible for the general cheer that spreads during the holidays. In essence, they are the “Spirits of Winter.”"

Additional Information

Aegis concept art
Aegis Dragon

Aegis Dragons are benevolent, gentle dragons.
They have the ability to fly using magic.
They're fairly large, about the size of an adult elephant when fully grown.
They have short, fine fur covering their bodies.
Their fur and manes are pillowy-soft, like down.

Due to their kind nature, they can't stand seeing something wrong happen.
Being naughty with an Aegis nearby is never a good thing, because that will set one off into a rage that's hard to quell... so make sure to be nice, okay? Not everything is always as it seems.

Aegis concept art2
In the presence of naughty behavior, the normally-gentle Aegis flies into an uncontrollable rage.
When enraged, the Aegis dragon smells distinctly of charred earth.
His eyes glow bright red with bloodwrath, and his talons grow long and hooked.
His mane is an untamed, coarse, twiggy mess.
Enraged Aegis dragons will hunt down the object of their anger with destructive intent until the wrongdoer either repents or is killed.
They will remain enraged until such time as someone manages to pacify them.

  • Many users at first mistook the design for being Eastern in nature- one of the artists clarified this:
They're like Magmas! Not easterns at all. ovo
