...Personally, I think all those ideals about mothers and fathers having different roles is a load of utter nonsense. When you're talking about humans, they are just stereotypes. Who says mothers don't protect and fathers don't nurture? My own parents destroyed that myth...

But this is DragonVale and dragons aren't humans; they're animals. In many animals, the female raises the young while the male guards the family, and that's the most common arrangement involving both parents. (Teaching is usually done by both parents, or only by the mother.)

If we got a Mother's Day dragon we have to get a Father's Day dragon, and they'll have to be along similar but complementary lines. The Bouquet dragon nurtures its young, so the dragon we'll get for Father's Day will undoubtedly protect its family.
