That wasn’t actually a rhetorical question, because we’re going to let YOU pick this dragon’s name and class. Head over to our Facebook Page to submit your entry!

Season 1: Month of Fire
As the Month of Fire approaches a new challenge emerges for the most powerful teams and Dragon Lords. This week’s breeding event kicks off Season 1. Seasons are an extended competition with prestigious prizes for the top teams and players. These prizes are exclusive for the season winners. Season 1 will last for 9 events. Check out the three competitions below!
1) World Champion Team: A Custom Statue to Celebrate Your Team's Dominance
The best Diamond league team will get to design a statue to replace the current statue on the island. The best team will be determined to be the top ranked team at the end of the Season on the Statue Leaderboard. Rank highly on the Diamond division team leaderboard to score statue points.
2) Top Teams: A Custom Monument
The top 100 teams will get a custom monument to replace the monument closest to their castle. The top 10 teams will have the opportunity to suggest designs. The designs will then be voted on by the 100 teams and the top design will be brought to life by our artists. Each week you’ll be matched against a team with similar Monument points; score more points than your monument competitors to earn more Monument points. Harder matchups will earn more Monument points. Monument team ranking will be determined by rankings on the Monument Leaderboard.
