🚫 Why You Cannot Get It Today

DragonVale World launched on 3 November 2016, developed by Backflip Studios, and ran for roughly three years. It was pulled from both the App Store and Google Play on 20 November 2019, with in-app purchases disabled at the same time. Servers went offline shortly afterwards — sources record either 20 December 2019 or 10 January 2020.

Because the game required its servers to run, there is no offline version and no way to revive it. Player parks were not recoverable.

📊 Stats and Requirements

Attribute	Value
Available from	Level 20
Buy price	2,500 gems
Sell value	1,000,000 coins / 755
Pedestal	650
Availability	Permanent
Variants	Standard and Enchanted

A level 20 requirement put Kraken firmly in late-game territory. Combined with its 2,500 gem price and 33-hour breeding time, this was a dragon for established parks rather than newcomers.

⚗️ The Boost System Explained

DragonVale World had a mechanic the original DragonVale does not: percentage boosts that shortened breeding times, sourced from park structures such as the Boost Brewery.

Kraken shows how dramatic the effect was:

Boost Level	Breeding Time	Time Saved
None (base)	33h 1m	—
25% boost	24h 45m	~8 hours
45% boost	18h 9m	~15 hours
60% boost	13h 12m	⭐ ~20 hours

Why this mattered: a fully boosted Kraken bred in 13 hours instead of 33 — the difference between roughly one attempt every day and a half, and two attempts a day. In DragonVale World, park building and breeding efficiency were tightly linked. The original DragonVale has nothing equivalent; its only comparable lever is the Breeding Cave upgrade.

♾️ Permanent, Not Limited

One detail worth noting: Kraken was flagged PERMANENT rather than limited. Unlike DragonVale World’s many event dragons, it stayed available throughout the game’s life.

That made it a reliable long-term goal — something you could work toward at your own pace without a window closing. Its barriers were level, cost and breeding time, not scarcity.

For comparison, the Fossil Dragon in the same game was marked Limited, which meant its availability came and went.

🦑 The Design and Its Story

Kraken was one of DragonVale World’s more imaginative designs. Rather than the usual wings and limbs, it had tentacles and fins — closer to a sea creature than a conventional dragon.

Its in-game description leaned into the joke, noting that seafaring witches and wizards were often frightened by the sight of it, needlessly so, since the Kraken Dragon’s splash is worse than its suckers. Reports of ship-grabbing, it maintained, were highly exaggerated — and rather the fault of shipbuilders who insisted on making vessels that look like Zazzberries.

That tone was characteristic of DragonVale World’s writing, and it is one of the things players who remember the game tend to miss most.

🎮 What to Play Instead

The original DragonVale remains live and actively updated by DECA Games. If you want something in the same spirit, that is where to go.

Its closest equivalents to what made Kraken appealing:

• The Rift — instant breeding and incubation, which solves the long-breeding-time problem entirely
• Elder Dragons — primaries levelled to 21 that double an upgraded habitat’s coin generation
• Gemstone dragons — passive premium currency income
• A roster that is still growing after more than a decade

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Can I still get the Kraken Dragon?

No. It was a DragonVale World dragon, and that game’s servers were shut down after its November 2019 delisting. It is permanently unobtainable.

Is the Kraken Dragon in the original DragonVale?

No. DragonVale World had its own roster of more than 135 dragons, separate from the original’s. Kraken was one of them.

How long did the Kraken Dragon take to breed?

33 hours 1 minute at base, dropping to 24h 45m, 18h 9m and 13h 12m at the 25%, 45% and 60% boost levels respectively.

What were boosts in DragonVale World?

Percentage reductions to breeding time, provided by park structures such as the Boost Brewery. They tied park building directly to breeding efficiency — a system the original DragonVale does not have.

Was the Kraken Dragon limited?

No, it was marked permanent. Unlike many DragonVale World dragons it remained available throughout the game’s life. Its barriers were the level 20 requirement, the 2,500 gem price and the long breeding time.

What made its design unusual?

It had tentacles and fins rather than wings and limbs, making it look far more like a sea creature than a traditional dragon.
