Breed two dragons. Find out what hatches. Then do it hundreds of times over! DragonVale is the original dragon-breeding park builder, raise mythical creatures from egg to elder and build a floating island paradise in the clouds. Fifteen years on, players still haven't hatched everything. ---- BREED & DISCOVER ---- Every pairing is a question. Combine two dragons, wait for the egg, and find out what their elements produce together. Some results take minutes. Some take seasons. A few have taken the community years to crack. • Hundreds of dragons to uncover, from common hatchlings to legendary rarities • Elemental combinations that reward experimentation, not memorization • The Dragonarium tracks every dragon you have bred, hatched, and raised • Team up in the Cooperative Breeding Cave for dragons you cannot get alone • Rare and limited dragons return only during specific events — miss one and you wait • Twin and rift dragons for players who want the deep end of the collection ---- RAISE THEM ---- A dragon is not finished when it hatches. Feed it, level it, and watch it change. • Grow and harvest Dragon Treats on your own farms to feed your collection • Every dragon transforms through baby, juvenile, adult, and elder stages • Each stage is drawn by hand — no recolors, no reused models • Enter your dragons in races and send them on quests for treasure and Dragon Cash • Higher-level dragons unlock better breeding results and bigger rewards • Elder forms take real dedication and look like it ---- BUILD YOUR PARK ---- Your islands float above the clouds, and the layout is entirely yours. • Expand across dozens of islands, each with its own habitats and terrain • Match habitats to elements — fire, water, air, earth, lightning, and far stranger • Decorate with hundreds of items, from topiaries and fountains to full attractions • Rearrange anything, anytime — your park is never locked into one design • Explore beyond the sky and chase Galaxy Dragons among the stars ---- SOMETHING NEW EVERY SEASON ---- DragonVale has run live events continuously for over a decade, and the calendar never repeats itself. • Seasonal events bring new dragons, decorations, habitats, and activities • Limited-time challenges with rewards you cannot get any other way • Regular updates with genuinely new content, not just maintenance • Returning favorites for players who missed them the first time around ---- PLAY WITH FRIENDS ---- • Visit friends' parks and see what they have managed to hatch • Send gems and gifts to help each other along • Share your rarest finds and compare Dragonariums • Breed cooperatively for results neither of you could reach alone ---- MADE BY HAND ---- Every dragon in DragonVale started as a sketch on someone's desk. • Spectacular visuals, sparkling animations, and eggs worth staring at • Every egg, baby, juvenile, adult, and elder drawn frame by frame by our artists • Each creature imagined by a person before a single line was ever drawn • An original soundtrack composed and recorded by our award-winning composer • Fifteen years of craft from a studio that has never taken the shortcut Legend says dragons are fierce, fire-breathing monsters. DragonVale says otherwise. From cuddly hatchlings that fit in your hand to massive, time-bending elders that reshape the sky, these are creatures worth raising — and the park you build for them is worth showing off. Whether you have five minutes to harvest treats or an afternoon to redesign an entire island, there is always something waiting. Start with two dragons and an empty stretch of sky. See where it goes. Your park. Your dragons. Your DragonVale. Download free and start hatching. Your first egg is already waiting. _________________________________ PLEASE NOTE!
