The Shadow Scale is one of the base dragons available in the game. It has an average speed on land and is quite clumsy in water, however it is the fastest of the fliers. It's low health and high attack damage make it a glass cannon, acting better as a scout and ambush predator, than a head-on fighter. It utilizes the plasma element to fuel its long-range attacks.

Gameplay

Appearance

The Shadow Scale is based off of multiple animals, its body based off of black jaguar, wings loosely based off of a sparrow, head based off of the red-eyed alligator skink and skins based off of chameleon and cuttlefish. It has a small and agile body with large wings, allowing for quick getaways if necessary.

Abilities

Shadow Scale is able to spit plasma, dealing high damage to far-away targets but using up bile in the process.

Shadow Scale's special ability allows it to camouflage itself with its surroundings. This will use stamina, unless the player is standing still or moving while crouching.

Due to being nocturnal animals, the Shadow Scale has slightly better night vision than other dragons.

Skins

All skins can be used in-game by being nested by parents that have them. Kickstarter skins can have a shimmer effect added on top of them. This will change the name of the skin in the information menu, but the skin acts as its non-shimmer counterpart when nesting.

Base Skins

The base skins can be selected when first spawning into the world. Depending on the skin, you may be required to do something to unlock it, get lucky with a random spawn, or posses a DLC key.
