Hatching story & Species description

You gently lift the Tropical egg into your arms, momentarily holding it against your body with one arm as you hand over the payment to the small dragon, who lets out a pleased chitter.

Had this egg not been seemingly producing its own moisture, you could have put it in your backpack, but getting all of your clothes and travel snacks soaked was not a very enjoyable thought.
After a long day's travel, you see your home in the horizon. You hurried towards it, stepping into puddles and mud without a second thought- your socks were soggy already in the first place. How uncomfortable!

For a moment you considered putting the egg in a little blanket nest on the carpet, near the fireplace, but then promptly realized that was likely not a good idea. Instead, you chose to sacrifice your bathtub, filling it with some soft bedding before placing the egg into it. Now that it was safe, you could go and deal with all the mud you tracked into your home.

After only an hour or two of mopping the floor and changing out of your adventuring clothing, you start to hear a ruckus of something slapping around in the bathroom. Warily approaching the door, you open it up to find a surprisingly adorable and colorful hatchling attempting to waddle around like a fish out of water. You gently pick it up to place it back into the safety of the tub, leaving the egg shells for it to eat later.

Congratulations! You are now the proud parent of a Tropical Seadrake


"Tropical Seadrakes are a variant of the Seadrake species, they are known for their bright colours and their small stature. Unlike the Deep Seadrake, the tropical variant enjoys swimming around in shoals close to the surface of the water, primarily hanging around reefs and occasionally wandering out onto the beach. Additionally, they are a lot less skittish of people compared to their Deep Sea cousins."
