OK, people are starting to get carried away with all these new element suggestions.

DragonVale is set in medieval times, so the dragon elements are based on the old view of what the elements were, before the discovery of the atom. These "old world elements" were Earth, Air, Fire and Water and their various forms, Plant (the basis of life) which is the perfect mix of the four basic elements, and Quintessence (the heavens) which includes Sun, Moon and Rainbow.

Most suggestions for new dragon elements are totally ludicrous and have a snowball's chance in hell of being included in the game. Suggestions for new Rare elements are not quite so silly, but still extremely unlikely. However, ideas for new dragons (rather than new elements) are far more logical - and some of them are excellent.

So, people, let's forget about new elements and just go back to suggesting new dragons. :)
