An Introduction to the Rainbow Dragon

While rare, the Rainbow Dragon is highly intelligent and friendly around both humans and fellow dragons. It enjoys soaring high above the islands basking in sunlight. Spotting a Rainbow Dragon in flight is considered extremely good fortune.

The Rainbow Dragonā€™s dazzling appearance and uplifting presence make it a treasured member of the DragonVale community.

The Rainbow Dragonā€™s gentle breath weapon matches its peaceful nature. It exhales billowing clouds of rainbow-colored mist containing positive energy capable of inspiring and invigorating friendly targets.

Watching Rainbow Dragons fly and play makes nearby dragons and visitors feel energized and uplifted. Their dazzling aerial performances are a true spectacle.

Breeding the Rainbow Dragon

According to the in-game DragonVale breeding hints, examples of possible breeding pairings include:
