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, but it is currently has the fastest flight in the game. Its 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 is based off of a black jaguar, its wings are loosely based off of a sparrow, its head is based off of the red-eyed alligator skink, and its skins are based off of chameleon and cuttlefish. The Shadow Scale has a small and agile body with large wings, allowing for quick getaways if necessary.
Abilities
The Shadow Scale is able to fire plasma bolts, dealing high damage to distant targets but using up bile in the process.
Shadow Scale's special ability allows it to camouflage itself with its surroundings. This Shadow Cloak does not turn the user completely invisible, but turns them transparent with a shimmery effect. Cloaking will use stamina unless the player is moving or standing still 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 in 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.
Exotic Skins
Exotic skins are ones that can only be obtained through skin crafting. When parents have two skins that are part of a skin crafting recipe, there is a chance that their offspring will have the mixed skin. It does not matter which parent has which of the two necessary skins.
