Eggs

 Egg Count is one less than the Dragon Count because Kairos does not have an egg.

Sorted breeding and incubation times can be viewed on the Breeding Times page.

Egg Designs

 * The design and color of most dragon |eggs are fairly predictable based on the combination of elements.
 * All of the primary element dragons' eggs have the design and corresponding color of their element on an off-white background.
 * The secondary element determines the design on the |egg and the main element determines the color of the background for hybrid dragon |eggs.
 * Exceptions to this are the epic (including limited epic dragons), limited, and gemstone dragons, as their designs are unique.

Egg Design Change Notes

 * Some dragons, such as the Scorch Dragon, and the Firefly Dragon, have identical incubation times with the same element combination and thus the type of offspring cannot be confirmed until you see the |egg.
 * The Scorch Dragon, and the Firefly Dragon originally had identical |eggs and incubation times. On May 25, 2012, Firefly Dragon's primary element was swapped and the |egg was redesigned to reflect that.
 * Before the Bone Dragon was expired from its original release in 2011, it used the same |egg as the Lava Dragon. It was impossible to tell what it was until it hatched. Now, it has a unique |egg design.
 * The Sun Dragon, and the Moon Dragon originally had black and white checkered boxes as |eggs, but have since been updated to a yellow color for the Sun Dragon and a grey color for the Moon Dragon.
 * The Rainbow Dragon originally had a different |egg design, but it was changed on February 2, 2012. The new |egg has a rainbow stripe pattern, while the previous design was white with multicolored polka dots.
 * The Pearl Dragon's |egg was originally a milky, pale color. Now, its design is multicolored with a pearl in the center.
 * The Bronze Olympus Dragon's |egg was changed to include all the colors of the olympus dragons: the Gold Olympus Dragon, Silver Olympus Dragon, and the Bronze Olympus Dragon.
 * On September 10, 2012 the Bronze Olympus Dragon's |egg and egg pedestal design were changed back to the original.
 * On April 2, 2015, the Frostbite Dragon's elements were switched.

Understanding Reduced Breeding Times
Regular breeding times are in the Breeding Cave and Epic Breeding Island.

Upgraded breeding times are in the Enchanted Breeding Cave and Epic Breeding Sanctuary.


 * Breeding Cave & Island Changes: If you have upgraded your breeding island or cave, the breeding times are decreased by 20% but the incubation times in the Nursery will remain the same.

Calculations
The upgraded breeding time can be calculated easily these two ways:


 * Regular Breeding Time X (0.8)
 * (Regular Breeding Time ÷ 5) X 4

Note: The incubation time is equal to the regular breeding time while the Egg is in the Nursery.
 * This is not true for the Light Rift Dragon, and the Dark Rift Dragon, whose incubation times of 30 seconds are different from their regular breeding times of 48 hours. This is also not true for the Dawn Dragon and the Dusk Dragon, whose incubation times of 30 seconds are different from their regular breeding times of 20 hours.
 * These incubation times were changed to match their respective breeding times soon after the end of the events the dragons were obtained in.
