Discover Dragons like you’ve never seen before! Collect and care for hundreds of unique Dragons, uncovering their origins as they grow. From playful Cat Dragons to rare Bluebell Dragons, every new Dragon you hatch and raise brings this cozy, peaceful world to life. Long ago, Dragons filled this enchanted forest, thriving alongside nature. Each evolved into forms as diverse as the surrounding flora and fauna. Some shimmered with glittering scales, others were soft and furry, and some even bloomed with flowers or mushrooms. When nearby mining drove the Dragons away, fog crept in and the forest fell silent for years. Now, join Liv the Elf to lift the fog, summon the Dragons home, and help the forest sparkle with life once more. GAME HIGHLIGHTS * Summon Dragons: Help Liv mix elements, gems, and more to call Dragons of all shapes, forms, and rarities to your forest. * Raise Dragons: Hatch eggs, feed your Dragons, and help them grow into magical, bonded companions. * Collect Hundreds of Dragons: Discover a magical array of Dragons that evolved alongside nature. * Uncover Lore: Reveal charming legends and little-known facts about your Dragons. * Explore and Restore: Clear the fog and help the forest awaken with life, magic, and folkloric friends. * Decorate Your Forest: Adorn your forest with plants and decor that possess magical abilities to help you progress. * Missions and Events: Missions, updates, and limited-time events bring exciting new Dragons, décor, and rewards. There’s always something new to discover! If you love Dragons, cozy collection games, and relaxing adventures, you will be enchanted by Hatch Dragons. ***** Hatch Dragons is developed and published by Runaway.
