What happens to Tundra fur when it gets wet?
Do they smell like wet dog (or the Sornieth equivalent) all day?
Does their fur dry super fast or are they stuck with wet fur for a really long time?
They smell like a wet tundra! Their fur dries more quickly than say maned dragon's mane would (Imperial, Pearlcatcher, Skydancer).

We've seen a few post now about old venues being brought in line with the new ones - what exactly does that mean? Are you aiming for all venues to have 24+ enemies, and over a hundred different packs? Or are you just wanting to update the older background artwork? A curious mind that helps record coliseum stats wants to know how much potential work there is ahead...
We want to increase the variety in enemies in most venues, allowing for more neutrals and a greater lean on a specific element for venues that have that. In addition, all venues should have their own unique chest/container item. Some venues may receive environment upgrades, but not all of them will have receive an update.
It depends on how well we feel the current venue artwork adheres to our style guide. A consistent style and quality of artwork is something we try to create as we make changes to the game.

How do you go about designing a new dragon breed ? Like, do you go through and design all the apparel for it, or do you start with genes ? Colors ?
We prepare a template for the new breed, then include it in the templates for genes and apparel that our artists receive. From then on all future new designs will incorporate the new breed so that we are not creating more artistic backlog than we need to. Later, we assign out backlog work, catching up apparel and genes that were released prior to the new breed's template creation. This step is the most time consuming step of creating a new breed for the game. We have a lot of genes and apparel (and wouldn't have it any other way: After all, this is a game about breeding and accessorizing dragons! Gotta have options!) and these items take time to create up to the standard of our style guide.

We know the official colors of most of the trading post dragons, thanks to Tomo's Trivia. We also know the flights thanks to Undel's answers. So my question is, what about Baldwin? What are his colors and flight? He's very hard to match in the scrying workshop!
Baldwin is Earth Flight. We tried asking him what his colors were, but he said that he wasn't sure if his colors were typical anymore. Our best guess is honeydew, moss, crocodile.

Will emblems be a forever and for always a part of festive favors? Or could they be cycled out in the future to make room for a new elemental apparel? Are vistas going to be kept year round?
At this time we have no plans on removing emblems from the rotation, as these are a fantastic way to show off the flight or allegiance of a dragon, and fits very well with the elemental holidays.
Announcements about what is coming up in future holiday cycles will be available closer to Brightshine 2018, and the start of our 6th festival season.
