Additional Release History Information
*When the Celestial Collection Comeback event started, the Solstice Dragon was already available with its affiliated decoration and continued to stay available during this offer.


Notes

  • The affiliated decoration, the Sun Stones, was released one day earlier than the Solstice Dragon.
  • Based on the description, the Solstice Dragon will last through the Northern (June) solstice and re-appear again for the Southern (December) solstice later in the year.
  • Backflip Studios hinted in a Facebook post that the odds of breeding the Solstice Dragon might be best on the day of the solstice.
  • The Solstice Dragon is the first limited epic dragon with the Sun element.
  • Initially, the Solstice Dragon was available at level 14, but the level availability was changed on October 9, 2013, to level 16.
  • When the Solstice Dragon returned on December 23, 2020, it returned before the reset of that day.


Possible References

  • As mentioned in a DragonVale Facebook post, the Solstice Dragon's name is the astronomical term "solstice", which was derived from the Latin words for "Sun" (sol) and "to stand still" (sistere).
  • The Solstice Dragon's description is likely a reference to the idiom "Two heads are better than one".
  • The Solstice Dragon's description mentions "the Sun Stones of Surya". This is likely a reference to Surya, the Hindu God of the Sun.
  • The Solstice Dragon's description states, "near the longest and shortest days of the year". This is likely a reference to the Summer Solstice and the Winter Solstice, respectively the days of the year with the most and least amounts of sunlight.
  • The Solstice Dragon's breeding and incubation times of 23 hours and 30 minutes, when written as 23.5, is likely a reference to the number of degrees the earth is tilted on its axis.
