Game Description
It's the same old situation, the motley dragon is of unknown origin. A crew of six wizards has been studying them, but the results are not making them feel good. Some wizards have a theory, which is a bit on the wild side, that motley dragons are related to a rumored invisible dragon.


Breeding

The Motley Dragon can be bred by using any two dragons, in either order, regardless of their elements, at any Breeding Cave.

Obtaining

In Events where Runic Breeding Caves are available, the Motley Dragon is gifted to players by default when a player never uses a Runic Breeding Cave during the entire duration of the event.

Additional Release History Information

Notes

  • The Motley Dragon is the first non-epic dragon that is able to be bred without its basic elements in the breeding pair.
    • It is also the first non-epic dragon that can be bred using epic parents.
  • The Motley Dragon is the first limited dragon to have a loading screen message that details its departure date.
  • The dragon's breeding rules come from one definition of the word: "exhibiting great diversity of elements."
  • The adult stage of the Motley Dragon is featured on The Great Dragon Faire event loading screen.


Possible References

  • The Motley Dragon's description states, "...same old situation..."/"...making them feel good."/"...on the wild side"; "Same Ol' Situation"/'"Dr. Feelgood"/ "Wild Side", which may be a reference to Mötley Crüe, an American heavy metal band formed in Los Angeles, California, in 1981.
    • "A crew of six wizards..." is likely a reference to Nikki Sixx, an American musician, songwriter, author, fashion designer, radio host, and photographer, best known as the co-founder and bassist of the band Mötley Crüe.
  • The Motley Dragon's name and appearance could be a reference to Motley, the traditional costume of the court jester, or the harlequin character in commedia dell'arte which is likely the basis of the egg design.
  • The Motley Dragon's description includes a reference to the "Invisible Dragon", an April Fools' joke that Backflip Studios played on DragonVale players in 2012. The "Invisible Dragon" was never released in the game.
