Cupi Friend

## Base Stats

### Adult

As a subspecies of the Cupid Dragon, it is a Friendship Dragon that represents friendship in the world.

It has had a bow since is was born and, like Cupid Dragon, its arrowheads are always heart-shaped. Unlike Cupid Dragon, if you get hit by Cupi Friend's arrow, friendship, not love, becomes stronger. It can come to a degree that the other person didn't have and come together with loyalty. Because of this, people who need a strong relationship are eager to find Cupi Friend.

Cupi Friend's feather is good for broken friendships. It is said that if you write your partner's name on the feather of Cupi Friend, it has the effect of loosening up the awkward relationship the next day. In some cases, its feathers are given as gifts to those who have regained friendship after reconciliation.

## Story

### The End of a War Made by Friendship

Feeling deep anger from a distance, Cupi Friend headed to the place where the anger was felt.

In the peaceful meadow, black smoke rose and flames burned everything. It was a war between people who were trying to expand their territory.

Cupi Friend was shocked by the people's seething anger. When Cupi Friend made up its mind to stop this fight by using all of its strength, the arrowhead of the arrow it was holding changed significantly.

The moment Cupi Friend's arrow was directed at the people, more than one arrow was fired. All of the Cupi Friends, who felt anger from afar, came to stop the war.

With Cupi Friends' arrows, people were able to calm down their anger and the war stopped.

## Evolution

### Egg

Cupi Friend's egg is affected by the ambient temperature. When the weather is hot, the egg cools down, and when the weather is cold, the egg warms up. Four-leaf clovers bloom around the egg and never withers. A pink and green four-leaf clover is considered a symbol of good luck.

### Hatch

As it hatches it develops a heart pattern. Its wings are slightly smaller than its body. When its curiosity is strong, it wants to go around and find friendship. It can create arrows, but it is still immature to shoot or aim a bow.

### Hatchling

Its wings grow as large as the body. It spreads its wings and moves very actively, spreading a lot of friendship. It likes people it gets along with and wants to do anything for them. However, it indiscriminately deepens their friendship and become the object of resentment.

### Adult

It appears wherever there is friendship. Depending on the degree of friendship you feel, its appearance may change. Unlike hatchlings, instead of sharing friendship indiscriminately, it observes the situation and cheers for friendship.

As a Friendship Dragon, it’s passionate about building friendships. It is mainly found in places where friendship is built, and does not hesitate to appear in front of people. It values friendship in any form, including dragons, animals, and Tamers and dragons, but not friendship between people.

Even without arrows, it can spread the aura of friendship and spread the surrounding with loyalty. It is said that there was a time when it instilled a lot of friendship and ended wars in many countries.

## Obtainment

Cupi Friend was originally obtained via completing Invite Missions. Cupi Friend has since been discontinued as an Invite Mission reward, and can now only be obtained via breeding (Basic Appearance only). The Heart and Double Heart Appearances of Cupi Friend are no longer obtainable.

To complete the Invite Missions, the player had to share their unique invite link with someone else, who then had to use it to download the app from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android). The invited player must then fully evolve one dragon to credit the referrer.

The Basic Appearance of Cupi Friend was awarded after 1 invited Tamer fully evolved one dragon (one random gender egg), or after 2 different invited Tamers each fully evolved one dragon (two eggs - one male, one female).

The Heart Appearance of Cupi Friend was awarded after 5 different invited Tamers each fully evolved one dragon (1 random gender egg), after 10 different invited Tamers each fully evolved one dragon (two eggs - one male, one female), or after 20 different invited Tamers each fully evolved one dragon (three eggs - one male, one female, one random).

The Double Heart Appearance of Cupi Friend was only awarded after 50 different invited Tamers each fully evolved one dragon (two eggs - one male, one female).

Breeding any type of Cupi Friend will always result in the Basic Appearance.

## Trivia

* This dragon's name in English has been changed several times. Initially, it was named "Cupifriend", which was later changed to "Cupi Friend". Its alternate form of "Heart Hopping Cupi Friend" was at some point retranslated to "Racing Heart Cupi Friend". The same name changed yet again, now localized as "Double Heart Cupi Friend", before finally being reformatted as "Cupi Friend (Double Heart)". It now seems to change back and forth between "Double Heart" and "Beating Heart".
* Cupi Friend was suddenly discontinued as an Invite Reward on January 11th, 2024. A notice was posted eleven days in advance, but there was no timer implemented in-game to mark its departure. It was replaced in the Invite Mission rewards by Cortus, and the number of required invites was lessened, only requiring 25 invites rather than 50 for the final rewards.
