Maloden

Complete the **Maloden** quest line to obtain an egg.

## Base Stats

It is unknown where they came from or what their purpose is. In the past, it is a dragon with only a record of getting the name Maloden from a Tamer who found it in a cave.

Most Malodens do not enjoy conversations due to their reticent personality. There is a Maloden that lives in one place for the rest of its life, and grass grows between its rocky body.

## Story

### Order Coexist, etc.

Maloden is the size of a small island.

Maloden doesn't care who rides on its back. However, indiscriminate hunting or fighting on its back wil be punished.

One Tamer lived on Maloden's back farmed at first, but later ate the animals that lived with them.

Maloden slammed a rock into its back and the Tamer fell to the floor and they farmed on Maloden's back again.

## Evolution

### Egg

It is much larger than the egg of common dragons. No one takes the egg carelessly, and most of them are found attached to rocks. There are also those that are difficult to remove and leave it as it is, waiting for Maloden until it hatches. The outer surface of the egg is so rough that flesh peels off when touched with bare hands. The egg is very cold, and because of this, it is also a resting place for animals to avoid the heat.

### Hatch

It has small wings since it hatched. The tiny wings are barely enough to lift Maloden's gigantic body. The feathers on its wings cannot be touched by hands. Even when animals come to it, it does not eat or hunt them and often give them shelters.

### Hatchling

Its wings and horns are bigger than when it hatched, and the jewel on its chest is firmly set. As its body grows, the number of animals staying around Maloden increases. Maloden as a hatchling moves very carefully to avoid disturbing those around it. Unlike its large body, it makes very small footsteps and moves only with its large claws. Through the jewel on its forehead, it can see things near its feet.

### Adult

It is the same size as a giant continent. Maloden is often inhabited by animals. Although it rarely moves, it is known to move very slowly when it does. There is also a case of it flying in the sky wrapping the animals that live on its back with its wings. It can fly in the sky without spreading its wings and thinks of the animals before its own movements.

Its body is covered with rocks and trees attached to its body. On Maloden's back, it is written that there is always fresh air and good weather, and there is no fear of running out of food. Animals such as small birds also stay on Maloden’s back.

## Trivia

The quest (Flying Though The Sky) to obtain Maloden was changed three times.

Initially, there was a single quest for one Maloden of random gender, which required players to attain a score of 1000m in the "Jump!" minigame. Due to player complaints regarding the difficulty, the quest was split into two parts: the first requiring a score of 600m, and the second requiring the original score of 1000m. Because these quests were now fixed in gender (first male, second female), players were given a Gender Transition Ticket, as people that completed the original 1000m quest to receive a random Maloden could have received a male. This would mean that roughly half of players that completed the legacy 1000m quest would end up with a duplicate sex upon completing the 600m quest. Unfortunately, players still continued to struggle with the difficulty of the minigame due to lag and various other issues, and the requirement for the first quest was reduced yet again to 300m. The quest then later changed one last time after still failing to appease players, this time removing any score requirement whatsoever.
