Like all pygmy dragons, their eggs cannot be bitten by Vampire Dragons and they can only breed with other pygmy breeds.

Crystals are growing around the shell of this little egg.
=== Hatchling ===
Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. Its ears perk up whenever a mana source draws near.
=== Mature hatchling ===
Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. Its ears perk up whenever a mana source draws near.
And look! Colored crystals have sprouted from its body! It must be close to maturing.

Flare-Tail Pygmies are often found nesting in colder caves with naturally occurring mineral licks. Mana rich crystals grow from their body and act as their primary source of magic. They channel the magic from the crystals into their tails, causing their tails and crystals to glow bright and beautiful, shining with a colored light. The more potent the crystals, the more intense the light. This colorful display acts as a warning to any potential predators that despite their size, they will not make for an easy meal as the brightest of tails can burn hot enough to cut through even the toughest of dragon hides. The black patterning on the Flare-Tail Pygmy is genetic and can vary greatly from one pygmy to another, however the color of the crystals appears to be influenced by an individual’s personality with more aggressive and passionate dragons having red crystals while more serene and passive ones wield blue. Though these two colors are the most commonly observed, they are not the only colors seen, and though rare, sometimes the crystals will change color due to a major life changing experience.
