Pyrrhichios Dragon

Pyrrhichios Dragons were released on May 21, 2022, alongside Thundersnow Dragons, Hooded Murkling Dragons, Furor Pygmies, Astralophyne Dragons, Fanalea Dragons and Scourgekeeper Dragons as part of Dragon Cave's 16th birthday celebration.
Pyrrhichios, along with Astralophyne Dragons, Thundersnow Dragons, Hooded Murkling Dragons, Furor Pygmies, Fanalea Dragons, and Seraph Dragons, have the Breed Specific Action Adventure. Through this action, the user may select up to six adult "adventurer" dragons to be sent on an adventure, attempting to ally a Scourgekeeper Dragon. If successful, an adult Scourgekeeper Dragon will be added to the user's scroll and the participating adventurers will "retire", making the BSA permanently unavailable for those dragons. A failed adventure imposes a 14-day cooldown on the participating adventurers, after which they can attempt another adventure.

When you tap on this shell, the hatchling inside taps back.
=== Hatchling ===
Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It strikes up a drumbeat whenever it gets excited.
=== Mature hatchling ===
Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It strikes up a drumbeat whenever it gets excited.
And look! Colorful plumage has sprouted from its shoulders and feet. It must be close to maturing.

Although the lively Pyrrhichios Dragon is somewhat small in size, they are well known for their passionate displays and boisterous natures. Pyrrhichios Dragons have long established an aptitude for percussive music due to an innate sense of rhythmic timing. A Pyrrhichios may use either the bony mallet at the tip of its tail or powerful stomps of its hind feet to drum intricate beats on hollowed out objects like logs or stones, all while shaking their brightly colored plumage. These dances are performed for various reasons, such as courtship, territorial or threat displays, war dances, celebrations, and community bonding. The war dance of a Pyrrhichios is especially impressive to witness, as these charismatic and physically expressive dragons use their talents to inspire each other prior to combat with leaping feats, intense drumming, and vigorous body movements. They are often found in family groups of twenty or more individuals called a "band," and these bands may either combine with others or split into smaller bands on a whim. Bands mark each other with red clay as a way to distinguish these groups from one another, while those who are ostracized are stripped of all identifying marks.
