Mortierite is beautiful! What a great save
Almost half my lair is from
dragon dumpster diving browsing fodder - I have a bad habit of seeing a Skydancer's cute little baby face and immediately rescuing them no matter how bad their tertiary color is, sometimes alongside all their siblings (rip lair space). Going through my lair I have at least four fodder families where I adopted all of a nest... oops. I'll show two of my favorites from a clutch of four I took in all of:
Clarity's outfit isn't finished, but he and Sashi are longtime favorites of mine.
Then, I have multiple dragons (at least three) that I've bought from someone's fodder tab. My beautiful girl Seashell was actually already leveled and one click away from being gone for good, but luckily the owner checked PMs first and was kind enough to let me buy her :,) I'm very grateful to all the users who have been open to my "please let me buy this dragon I will give you 30g" over the years.
Here's Seashell, whose name is the user's default fodder name:
Then I have my save with the best story, my beloved boy Skye (originally Skytwirl). I bought his brother Cielle (Gloompaw at the time) as a fodder-priced hatchling, but didn't have space to take both dragons and was trying to curb my impulse buying, so Skye got scooped up and I thought that was that.
Imagine my surprise when nearly eight months later I was browsing fodder adults and saw "Skytwirl" near the fodder floor! He'd been bred and iirc correctly was mostly starving, but I recognized him immediately and instantly scooped him up, and he's been a favorite ever since - I love him dearly and he's super important in my (currently unwritten) lore. He may have a basic tert, but I think he's so pretty and he's the most spoiled dragon in my whole lair.
I could literally post 20+ dragons to this thread, but I'll leave it with just two more fodder rescue favorites :,) here's Akira, my coli boy who manages to have 0 likes despite being one of my favorites, and Evolet, my softest Plague dragon:
There's so much pretty fodder! I feel like you can find really unique dragons if you're willing to sift through the listings.
