Game Description
Lichen dragons can be found on the highest mountain peaks and furthest polar reaches throughout the world. Our wizards say that the unique substance growing on them is some sort of strange plant that feeds the dragons using sunlight. Or something. I didn't really understand it myself. Oh and be sure not to confuse lichen dragons with any other kind of supernatural beings, they've been known to take offense to that.

Breeding

The Lichen Dragon can be bred by using any two dragons, in either order, containing the Cold and Plant elements at any Breeding Cave.

Required Combos

The Lichen Dragon is required in the following breeding combos:

Possible References

The "supernatural beings" in the description, refers to Lichen Dragons being confused with are likely lycan, which is a name often used to refer to werewolf-like creatures.
- Alternatively, it could be referring to the word "lich", which are undead creatures generally associated with evil in many online web games.
- With the release of the Lycan Dragon, it seems likely that this is the other being that often gets confused with the Lichen Dragon, due to their almost identical pronunciation.
In real life, lichen is a symbiotic organism composed of a fungus and an alga. The Lichen Dragon's description refers to this when it mentions a "strange plant that feeds the dragon sunlight"; the algal part of the symbiont feeds the fungus using photosynthesis.
Lichen are also known to occur in some of the most extreme habitats in the world, including freezing temperatures and toxic conditions. The description refers to this when it mentions that the Lichen Dragon lives on "the highest mountain peaks and furthest polar reaches".
