Buckle in everyone! We have some big changes starting this month. They’ve been in the works for awhile. Finalizing everything is why this edition is a day behind. Random aside - I was on FR so little this week that I lost my well-fed bonus. It was absolutely devastating…! Anyway, thank you for your feedback on the last “edition” when it came to suggestions for sections to add, and how to handle games that can be more inclusive. It was much appreciated. We’ll definitely implement some of them soon. I’ll drop the winners later on/in a different post, by the way.

Least Favorite? Why?[/b] [i]My favourite breed would probably be Sandsurges! Both of their poses look great. There are some breed that I like without liking the F-pose (Skydancers and Faes) and those where I don't like the M-pose (Guardians and Tundras). And there are also other breeds that all work well in their own contexts, and outside of them too... I dislike Snappers though, I don't know why. I've seen numerous well-executed Snappers out there but I just don't like them personally.[/i] [emoji=sun size=1][b]What is your favorite color? Do you have dragons that are this color or have gene in the color?[/b] [i]I'd say Lapis. One of my first dragons ever had Lapis Starmap as a gene, and let me tell you she. was. beautiful. the blue and yellow went excellent together. I still have her, she's just dressed in a number of other colours now. Oh and the Lapis colour is the saving grace of every ENA fandragon. So probably Lapis.[/i] [emoji=sun size=1][b]Have you ever changed your flight? Do you think you'd ever switch flights?[/b] [i]Absolutely! I intend to visit every Flight at least once! I change whenever I can. I consider Wind to be my home Flight, but I'm currently in Light and was originally in Ice.[/i] [emoji=sun size=1][b]Do you collect any specific items on Flight Rising?[/b] [i]Yes - I collect the deity miniatures and plushies. I collect them from chests I get from familiar bonding. I once decided I'd had enough and hoardsold them all - right before the implementation of achievements. Big regret.[/i] [emoji=sun size=1][b]Favorite memory or interaction that you've had on Flight Rising?[/b] [i]I love how generous and friendly this community is! Once, I was a beginner player short on Eliminates, and someone gave me 3 of them for free! To that person, I hope you have a wonderful day now and forever! Another time, I gave a person some items that they were collecting, and they found some fandergs in my lair for some media they liked! We had a big chat about all that, it was great![/i][/quote] ----- ----- [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/gJDglFh.png[/img][/center] [i]every dragon needs a familiar![/i] [b]By:[/b] Umore [columns] [center] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/game-database/item/12195][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/static/cms/familiar/art/12195.png[/img][/url] [size=6][b][color=#EF5C23]CONJOINED[/color] [color=#99FF9C]SKINK[/color][/b][/size] [/center] [nextcol] [quote=General Information] The [gamedb item=12195] is a two-headed amphibian created from alchemy.
