Okay I hatched my second metals pair nest (this one has a higher likelihood of getting XXY metals)
And just look at these lovelies-

The one little outsider XYY Marigold instead of XXY Metals ^^
and the two XXY Metals


I know they aren't XXX Metals but XXY isn't too bad and they are buttglims so Idk I need help pricing them I want to price them more then the XXY nocs I sometimes hatch but not sure...
I checked AH and I found an XXY WC metals for 700 gems but it had art in the bio and a similar sky dancer for 200k so I'm thinking going like 480k? or 500k? but opinions anyone? (any help is greatly appreciated I always feel like my prices are off)

Maybe the Sky Blue silk set, or even the Celadon mightd look good. Yeah, Celadon would match her eyes perfectly and a little flair of colour!
As for names.. I usually research meaning of names in other languages, mostly Egyptian or Greek. So, maybe Khonsu, meaning moon God, even though she is a female, I say it's pretty fitting ^^"
But, if you prefer female names, here are some female moon-related names:

- Phoebe
- Selene
- Elatha
- Trivia
- Mano
- Gleti
- Yemaya

Just some ideas ^^

@*ShadowMagic*
I'm pretty sure that there can sometimes be a delay. I know that I had to wait for quite some time before I received my achievement.

This is really quite an interesting conversation. Since these are fictional animals, we can't really say that their behavior is based upon primarily instinct or unfair prejudice. No, dragons aren't humans, but Flight Rising dragons also wear clothing, use tools, and even practice forms of religion where their deities are concerned, unlike natural animals. So, it isn't a stretch to argue that they could also have morals and such similarly to a human being. Now, I'm not saying that Coatls are horrible. In fact, Coatls are my absolute favorite species and I adore them to bits. However, Saphira has brought an interesting topic that can't really be brushed aside with an explanation of simple animal instinct. ^^;

I have spent way to much time in the animal sciences, and I'm looking at this strictly from that point of view. Birds will naturally segregate sick, which as previously stated is often found by dull plumage, sure some species take care of the sick and some leave them to die. Each is a trait of the breeds.

To put it in human terms, as I believe all animals are intelligent thinking creatures, we often keep ourselves away from those who have a cough, sneeze and look generally sick. That is self preservation. Illness spreads like wildfire in closed cramped quarters. And just like you can create a coatl that stands out there are people and animals who ignore the innate behaviour to protect their own person from illness by avoidance.

It's saying they are jerks for behavior that is natural to their species is what I find issue with.

I understand that the self-preservation aspect of human and animal behavior is likely what also drives Coatls to push sick (or sick-looking) hatchlings from their lair. I wasn't arguing that humans lack instinct and animals lack thought. I was simply pointing out that as fictional creatures who share traits with both humans and wild animals (like a sort of in-between), we can't necessarily judge their actions as entirely instinctual, or consciously bias. In actuality, it's likely just simply up to each user and how they would like to write their lore. c:

I hope that the last sentence wasn't directed at me, though, because I never said or implied that Coatls were jerks and I apologize if there was a misunderstanding there. I feel quite the opposite, actually. I adore everything about Coatls and their lore. ^^

Oh no absolutely not, it was more directed at the conversation, I just happened to grab your quote.

And I get we can't judge every action by individual based on the group, it's why I made the comparison to humans and the instinct to avoid the sick, yet others do not, like doctors.

My degree is in animal science with a focus in nutrition and behavior so I may over science things, I love behavior and the discussion of it. And this is not directed at you, but to say behaviors are wrong on a species level it bothers me greatly. Because I compare it to the instinct to hunt. It 's not wrong and it is basic survial, but people view it as wrong because it harms other creatures.

Hey Speedy, I found this in the spiral section in the encyclopedia
"A spiral clan is capable of decimating large swathes of ancient forest."
Do your spirals break the trees?
