## Official Description

### Hatchling

This Hatchling resembles a large rock in appearance.

### Adult

It is a Rock Dragon born in a crevice of rocks.

Rock Dragons live among rocks. Where there are many rocks, Rock Dragons live in groups. It does not change its habitat once it has been established, and adapts to the surrounding environment by changing the color of rocks.

It eats rocks for food. For this reason, it takes its habitat in rocky places. Rather than hunting directly, it eats insects or animals that sit on its body, or parasitizes its own body.

## Story

### A Life that Began in Groups

Rock Dragons live in groups in rocky areas.

A Rock Dragon that stays in one place for a long time gets stuck to a rock and finds it difficult to move. Rock Dragons who are attached since hatching, remain connected to each other even as adults. It's speculated that the greater the connection, such as rolling together, moving, or hunting, the greater the understanding of each other.

The Dragon Lab was very interested in the shape of Rock Dragon, and conducted an experiment to collect Rock Dragon eggs to live in one place, but the experiment failed. The researchers determined that it would be difficult to reproduce the situation unless it occurred naturally, and the connection of Rock Dragons remains an unresolved research topic.

## Evolution

### Egg

The egg looks like a rock. Rocks are embedded around it, and earth-colored horns sprout from it. Rock Dragon eggs don't collect moss or dust. No matter how much it rolls, the eggs don't break, or change shape, and it’s always clean.

### Hatch

You can often see it rolling around. There aren't any horns on its head, but there are small projections above its eyes. The rocks sprouting from its body aren't sharp, but look more like round patterns. The rock sprouting from its nose tip is also blunt. Male and female Rock Dragon hatches are indistinguishable in appearance. Its body is hard as a rock, and it often scratches itself, from which sharp rocks grow.

### Hatchling

Pointy projections rise from the round patterns on its body. Male Rock Dragons grow horns on both sides of its head. The habit of scratching its body has disappeared, and unlike the frequent rolling around when it hatched, now it does not roll well because of the rocks on its body. It drives the horns on its head into the earth.

### Adult

Its entire body and legs are enlarged, and large bumps appear on its body. The horns on both sides of its head are also large enough to cover its face. Male Rock Dragons always have a lot of scars around the body due to headbutting. Because of the protruding rocks, its body is heavy and cannot move quickly. However, its attacks due to its large appearance are very strong, and it can shake the earth or throw its protruding rocks with its heavy weight. Its jaws and horns are strong enough to crush rocks.

Its skin is like a rock, so it can't feel external pain or sensations. Rock Dragons sometimes break rocks while moving. Because of its heavy body, it moves slowly, and at first glance it looks like a rock covered with rocks.

## Breeding

This dragon is incompatible with Blue Thunder, Lightning Dragon, and Taabire.
