Coli drops:
Chests: treasure goes towards the funds
Familiar: new dragon
Materials and trinkets: Flex your creative muscles!
Do some writing for your nuzlocke. Write dragon bios! Make a blog, or a thread for your challenge in the creative forums! Write short stories or paragraphs, or add to one big one adventure!
Do some art for your nuzlocke!
Rare drops: Wildcards
Familiars: Buy the cheapest dragon in the auction house of a specific breed. Use a random number generator (between 1-14) to determine which breed you will get! (Optionally: attach the familiar to the new dragon.)
Apparel: Breed two of your dragons. The dragons you pick are up to you. You can also change one of the genes on a dragon, or use a scatterscroll if you are rich and crazy.
(Note: You must flip a coin for each hatchling once they hatch. If tails, the dragon is dead and you must exalt it. This is in keeping with the origional Nuzlocke thread's rule, because I really like it.)
Alternatively, if no dragons are RTB or if breeding them doesn't fit the lore, then buy the cheapest RTB dragon and then breed.
Battle items: Uh-oh!!!
Flip a coin.
Heads = DEATH STREAK
Tails = Nothing happens
DEATH STREAK rules: Randomly select three dragons using a random number generator. Fight in the coliseum using the "food" rules 10 rounds consecutively (ie. you cannot leave that arena), quitting midway if a dragon dies. If you are using the easymode rules, switch to the hardmode rules for battlestones.

[center][font=corbel]
He had been with Andromeda and Hal at the little pond nestled in the dip in the moor just between the three monoliths, a secret place just for them, to watch the first sunset of the summer. Just as the sun dipped below the distant mountains, in the span of seconds it took for Hal to slowly blink enormous eyes, the paint palette swirl of colors reflected in them, the sky had lit up brilliantly despite the impending twilight, the falling star glowing in the center of it all. And then Hal’s eyes had grown impossibly wider, even Andromeda’s narrow aqua gaze widened until Doomwyte could see her sheer terror and awe. He turned his gaze back to the ever-nearing falling star, felt its pull somewhere deep inside his chest. Behind him, the sound barely registering in his consciousness, Andromeda and Hal slumped over with soft sighs. Doomwyte’ s eyes remained fixed on the impossible brightness of the falling star, watched it grow closer and closer until the whiteness consumed his entire field of vision.

The pond seemed to hold the universe in its waters despite the distinctly universe-less, dawn-hued sky above that it should have reflected. The tops of the great monoliths had cracked, fragments hovering in the sky above. Perhaps most confusing of all was the vague feeling of something just beyond her reach, leaving her with only the barest glimpses of the past and a distinct feeling of wrongness. And Doomwyte—thank goodness she still remembered him and Hal—Doomwyte was floating over her, body surrounded by ribbons and ribbons of glowing runes that seemed to weave themselves into his very scales before Andromeda’s eyes.
“Wyte! Wyte! Where are we? What’s happening?”
But there was no response, Wyte’s unconscious body drifted down to rest in a patch of heather, the rise and fall of his chest gentle and even. If he held the answers to her questions, he stayed silent. For now, all Andromeda knew was that if there had been a world before this one, she knew not of it. There was only this present, the stars in the water and the water in the stars, Doomwyte in the heather and Hal curled on the stone, and the sun in her scales and the distinct feeling that something was very, very wrong.

Even bundled in three scarves, it still felt like winter had wrapped its cold claws around his heart as he sat chattering while Andromeda woke up Doomwyte and tried to get their bearings. They were alone for miles, surrounded by leagues upon leagues of moorland and pink heather and rolling hills. The cracked monoliths cast their giant pale shadows over the trio as they planned their next move.
“I think we can probably hole up over there in one of those small caves.” The outcroppings lining the dip between the monoliths were dotted with a few small caves, and Andromeda was hauling them over to the largest one, Hal’s teeth chattering all the way. Andromeda was just fine in her drapey silks, Doomwyte was fine aside from the stars reflected in his blank expression, but Hal felt so, so cold. He moved to wrap the scarves tighter around himself, each movement cracking his fingers and joints like they were encased in ice.
Doomwyte chose that moment to startle out of his reverie, star-filled eyes focusing.
“You guys feel it don’t you,” he whispered, “Something is changing.
We’re all changing.”

Andromeda felt fine.
Doomwyte had been staring off blankly ever since she’d lead them to the cave, eyes focused on something beyond them as his scales slowly morphed into a galaxy of their own. Hal had had always been one to run cold, but despite the summer heat and warmth of three scarves, he sat shivering nonstop.
But Andromeda felt fine.
Doomwyte had asked if they could feel themselves changing, and Andromeda had felt it for a brief moment, a slight twinge in her chest that made her clench her claws. And then the moment passed and so did the tightness in her chest. But Hal had only curled in on himself tighter, and Doomwyte was back to seeing stars. She sighed.
“Alright, you guys stay here, I’m going to go see what’s happening outside.”
Andromeda pushed her way back into the rosy dawn light and lofted into the air, hovering neck to the floating pieces of monolith.
The world was quiet and lifeless, save for the whistle of the wind through the grass, the steady rhythm of her wingbeats, and the movements her two friends holed up below her. She made to return to the ground, when a sudden flash from the corner of her eye drew her attention back to the sky.
A second star was falling.
Hal screamed.
Harvested as a hard-shelled pod, these plants appear to bloom when slow-cooked over a fire.

Ooh, I love this so far! Can I be placed on the pinglist?
