Dragon Cave 育龍誌

 →  →  →   

冬至龍也稱為'13年聖誕龍，在棲地全區發布於聖誕節開始時，持續三天至27號（深夜23:59:59，台灣時間28號下午12:59:59），每位玩家的軸頁只限定兩隻CB（但非CB是沒有限制的）牠們是只有雌性的品種。

牠們只在聖誕節週才會重現，但整年的其餘時間依然可以與其他的雄龍配種，但只會生出雄龍品種的蛋。這代表著只能在聖誕節週，可以繁殖出冬至龍時，才可以再次得到這種龍蛋。

2013年發布時只有彩色雙翼的版本，2014年的聖誕節週，被發現二代的冬至龍是藍翼的。2015年1月10號後修訂為彩翼與藍翼的變化與繁殖時間有關。

彩翼的冬至龍可在美東時間的夜間18:00至隔天05:59育種得到；

藍翼的版本可在美東白日時間06:00至17:59育種獲得。

Christmas 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 Christmas.”
聖誕龍是非常神祕的品種，牠們只能被發現於冬季，且要捉到一閃而逝的一隻是非常困難。牠們肩負著節日間整體的歡快氣氛，就本質上來說，牠們是「聖誕節的靈魂」。

Solstice Dragon concept

Height: 1.5m (5ft) at the withers
Length: 5m (16.5ft)
Wingspan: 6.5m (21.3ft)
Weight: 500-550kg (~1100-1200lbs)
---
Basic Anatomy: Solstice dragons' hides are soft, supple, and covered with tiny iridescent blue scales, and they give off surprising warmth in spite of their wintry appearance. Their bellies are counter-shaded with the same pale frosty color that freckles their wings and spine like snowflakes. Their whiskers help them sense wind currents and impending weather as they fly. As a Solstice dragon matures, she grows a dense mane of white fur along the underside of her neck and chest as well as a brush at the end of her tail, and some of the scales along her back and wings will turn brilliant, glittering gold. Seemingly all Solstice dragons are born with a crown of branching, antler-like golden horns which are never shed and grow very slowly throughout their lives. An orb of pure, warm light shining from the center of a Solstice dragon’s crown marks her transition into adulthood.
---
Behavior: Solstice dragons prefer to live alone or in small, tightly knit sororities of 2-5 individuals. They vocalize little, communicating mainly through a dragon’s innate telepathy and voicing their moods with soft crooning sounds, trills, and chuffs.

The orb of light burning between a Solstice dragon’s antlers has a calming effect upon any creature the light touches, and basking in its glow can lift one’s spirits even from the deepest depths of despair. These wise and affectionate creatures have been known on occasion to follow strangers that have gotten lost in winter storms, shielding them from the wind and curling up with them to keep them warm until the storm subsides.

For one week a year around the Winter Solstice, when the nights are longest, Solstice dragons will take to the sky at sunset and not land until dawn, their crowns shining like beacons in the darkness as they cavort among the stars. Many who look upon the spectacle find renewed hope, knowing that with the flight of the Solstice dragons the days will soon begin to lengthen and warmth and light will return to the world with the changing of the seasons.

When a Solstice dragon dies, the orb of light will come loose from her antlers and slowly disperse into the sky.
---
Habitat: Wild Solstice dragons actively seek out areas with colder climates and open skies and thus are found most easily in high mountain basins, but during winter months they will fly and mingle almost anywhere.
---
Diet: Omnivorous. Most of their diet consists of berries, tubers, and stripped tree bark, but during lean times or when preparing to breed they will scavenge from other dragons’ kills or hunt live prey for the extra protein and fat that it provides.

冬至龍概念

身高：到肩膀高1.5米（5英呎）
身長：5米（16.5英呎）
翼展：6.5米（21.3英吋）
體重：500~550公斤（1100~1200磅）

基本剖析：冬至龍的皮膚是柔軟的，且覆蓋著細小、閃爍的藍色鱗片。儘管牠們有著冷若冰霜的外表，卻會散發出令人意料之外的熱情。牠們的腹部有反蔭蔽（動物保護色的一種類型；這類動物背部深於腹部，上面投下的光線使它全身顏色均勻而不醒目）的特點，是和雙翼上雪花狀的斑點一樣的淺淡灰白色。鬍鬚可以協助牠們在飛行時感知到氣流與即將發生的天氣變化。

當一隻冬至龍茁壯成年，牠們的脖子和胸部下方，都會長出濃密的白色茸毛，在尾巴末端，也會長出同樣但呈刷狀的茸毛，且有的冬至龍背部和翅膀的鱗片會變成璀璨耀眼的金色。

似乎所有的冬至龍生來就頂著分枝的、鹿角狀的金色犄角，在牠們一生當中都生長得非常緩慢而且永遠不會脫落。在冬至龍的犄角上，一顆散發著純淨、溫暖光芒的球體也標誌著牠們邁向成熟。

行為：冬至龍喜歡獨居或生活在小的、有著緊密聯繫的二到五隻組成的群體裡。牠們很少用言語表達，溝通主要是通過牠們與生俱來的心靈感應和能表達心情的柔軟低鳴聲、囀鳴以及其他叫聲。
冬至龍鹿角間的球體的光亮有著讓人平靜的效果，當任何生物沐浴在它的光芒中，就能鼓舞其精神，即使該生物陷在最幽黑的絕望深淵中。這些聰慧且滿懷柔情的生物，據悉有時會追蹤在嚴冬風暴中迷路的陌生人，然後在冽風中庇護他們，並在他們身邊蜷縮起身體保持他們的溫暖，直到暴風雪平息。

一年當中冬至前後的一週中，夜晚最漫長的時候，冬至龍會在日落時飛往空中，且在黎明前都不會降落。牠們的發光球體就像引路燈一樣的在黑暗中閃耀著，彷彿牠們在群星中跳躍一般。許多人把這奇觀看待為希望的指標，明瞭到隨著冬至龍的飛越，白日將很快的得到延長；隨著季節轉換，溫暖與光明也將重返大地。
當冬至龍死去，光之球體就會從牠們的鹿角上鬆脫開來，並緩緩的消散在空中。

棲地：野生的冬至龍積極的物色寒冷且有著開闊天空的地區，因此很容易被發現於高山盆地中，但在冬季，牠們幾乎無所不在。

飲食：雜食。牠們主要的飲食包括漿果、塊莖和剝除的樹皮；但在艱困時期或準備繁殖期間，牠們也會尋覓其他龍獵殺的生物或還活著的獵物以補充其供給的蛋白質和脂肪。

 題外話，蛋的花紋很像這件體操服有沒有，一秒就想到了！那閃亮亮的樣子，以為也會孵出很閃亮的龍，幼龍也很閃亮，但對龍長大以後有些失望XD不過翻了額外的訊息後，對這龍的心靈的美麗突然覺得加分了很多，越看越美XD
