Let's do a Story Time on how you get your first Dragon so lets sit down take some Cookies a listen to the Story
For me it's the 3 or 4 Year on SoD on November but in the Forum will it be on the 2 September
So my first Dragon was actually a Skrill not a Nadder i buyed the Skrill Egg for 600 gems and wanted to go to my stables but you have to go and pick one of the Starter Dragon which was The Nadder,Nightmare,Zipper ,Gronckle,Thunderdrum,Whispering Death and the Skrill (last three was for members).So i choose the Nadder and hatched my Skrill and the next Day i trained bouth of them and here can you see how big my Boy is 
/Furry
And what a good, Big Boi he is.
My first hatch was a Nightmare, but my main is my Howl
Badger is my beautiful son and no one can tell me otherwise, he is a soft and gentle apricot with big feeties and a terrible turning circle. But he is perfect.
Adorable!

Around 2 years ago, after I watched How To Train Your Dragon for the fifth time, my sister ran up to me and told me there's a game called 'School of Dragons'. I got the game on my little tablet and hopped on. The tutorial wasn't that exciting, I was in a hatchery and being told about dragons and which one I should own. Gobber insisted on a deadly nadder, so I complied. I named her Thundersong and colored her green...one of my favorite colors with some yellow markings. I colored her after paradise birds, and gave her a red belly. She was beautiful, such a cute baby dragon. I was excited to ride her and I understood I couldn't yet, I fed her well and played with her when she was sad. I did as many quests as I could to level her up and she became a teen. I shouted in joy, I can ride her now, but she cannot fly. I took advantage and glided everywhere. I envied those in the sky and I wanted to go up there, where I can go almost anywhere. After a few more quests, Hiccup let me know it's time for her to become an adult and fly! The excitement overwhelmed me and I took her to the hachery where I leveled her up. She was beautiful and I rode her for hours, going where I dreamt of going. She was my main dragon for up until the Triple Stryke came out. She was my only dragon for about a year.
This is what I liked more about our old tutorial. It really gave you a feeling of freedom as soon as you can fly and excited you to level your dragon up. Now, you can free flight the first day and it doesnt feel as special.
...anyways, that's my first dragon.
Edit: I stalker your signature and I must say... TEAM FORTRESS FOR THE WIN!
U WANNA GO BIG BOIZ? I WAS HERE FOR THE FIRST
SECONDS
My firstttt ever dragon? Man you guys. lil nubs u know nothing about the beginning. Things are shiny and new now. Back then, it was so rusty and musty like that smell of an old log cabin when you go camping with your family. I'm not saying that I simply was there in 2014. Or 2015. I'm saying I applied to beta testing, way back in 2012 or 13 i forgot. I'm the grandma of School of Dragons. I've never met another person here who was in beta testing and stuck through with it until now. If I do meet one of you, awesome, do you remember all this crazy stuff they took out?
Honestly, it felt like camping, those four years ago, camping out in the living room with my sister after the countdown for School of Dragons on the website went all the way to 00:00, we logged on with shiny, new accounts.
You were at the docks, and you run forwards as fast as possible, but you miss the boat leaving for this years batch of trainers going to the school for the first time. Tears run down your cheeks in disappointment. What now? Wait another year? It couldn't be! THen Hiccup comesu up to you, and being the little gentleman he is, decides to take you for a ride up through the clouds flying, swooping through rings, then you come down at sea. There's this boss animation of Toothless flying in, weaving through the gaps of the caldera the school was in. They're there for a reason! Suddenly you'd see Toothless disappear behind the gaps and the camera would swoosh forwards in one powerful act, revealing the real, true school, the one I had been staring at gloriously on the website while the countdown ticked and tocked. (Yes, there was a countdown on the website, counting down to School of Dragon's release. Imagine counting down from 10 to that! how exciting that was..) You got to go to the hatchery, and carry your egg to the lavapit to hatch it. (Yes, I said 'carry' your egg. Pick it up from that nest and walk it over to the lava pit your self! Why did they remove that? it was so sweet..)
I picked a bold little zippleback who I named Moonflight (does that sound familiar?). I raised her/them very well. Back then, since there were only nadders, zipplebacks, nightmares, and gronckles, well, zipplebacks were the best racing dragons. You could only have one, yes UNO, dragon, not multiple. I know, I know, so hard to imagine. Well, it was that way, it truly was. Moonflight and I were super boss at racing and we mastered almost all the tracks. My favorite track was, and still is Fortune Falls. When the whispering death and thunderdrum came out, you could get them with a gift card or something.. idk? Then they were released to the public, along with the multiple dragons update, and if you had one, you were royalty.
Chill mate, its not a competition. Most seasoned forumers here also did the original tutorial (myself included) and don't really enjoy the new one.
And I don't like how they changed the egg system. Carrying it there made it more real, like you actually had the responsibility of caring for the hatchling...
Skyfire. She was my first dragon and actually wasn't going to be in my main dragon group at all. But no matter how hard a tried, my bond with her was too strong.
After realizing this I made her a full backstory, personality, saddle and for her into my story. Because it's not like she wasn't there in the first place...
Sky was one of the eggs in the hatchery, although she doesn't remember this, a very nervous, yet excited young girl walked in. She talked to Gobber some and he told her that she would bond best with a Hideous Zippleback.
The girl had no idea what she would bond best with and decided to trust Gobber, but on her way she saw a nest full of eggs. It was labeled "Deadly Nadder" it was not the dragon she was looking for, but something told her that it was right.
She gently picked up an egg and placed it in the lava.
Slowly the egg hatched. Star, as she was called, watched in awe.
Finally a little Deadly Nadder emerged. She had a cream colored Spines and belly, and her scales were blue-ish turquoise.
Gently Star reached out her hand, letting the Nadder sniff it.
The Nadder complied and let the girl pet her nose.
"Skyfire? Can I call you that?" She asked shyly. Skyfire chirped softly and nuzzled her hand in a yes.
After that Skyfire followed Star everywhere she went.
How she met Star is kinda pointless here isn't it?
Since she met Star: Skyfire has become a Broad Wing Nadder, and her Cream colored spines and stomach turned Red and her turquoise scales turned much more blue.
Mmm, cookie! Thank you!
*Winterwind shoves against Whisper's arm* Fine, yes, I know cookies are your favorite. *mutters* Spoiled dragon. *gives cookie to Winterwind*
When I first started playing, it was the summer of 2013. The Deadly Nadder, Gronckle, Monstrous Nightmare, and Hideous Zippleback were the only dragons available in the game, and you could only have one. "Once you choose your dragon," the game said, "you cannot choose another."
I had much love for three of the four dragons, so I couldn't really choose which one I wanted. So I took Gobber's personality quiz, and he said my best match was a Deadly Nadder. I took him at his word and hatched my first dragon, Brightclaw.
In time, I decided I liked the Stormfly Look on a Nadder. I think it's just a beautiful coloration, like a blue-and-gold macaw. This is Brightclaw and I now.
Brightclaw was named after a minor dragon character in the How to Train Your Dragon book. When I first hatched her, she was meant to be the dragon version of my horse Jetta, my best friend and my Toothless. Ever since that time, my main dragon has always been a dragon version of Jetta.
While I kept changing my main OC before settling on a Woolly Howl due to my love of ice dragons (and the Woolly Howl fitting Jetta best out of all the ice dragons), Brightclaw was my main dragon until the Woolly Howl's release. My second and main dragon is Winterwind. She's my Jetta now.
Brightclaw is now her own original character, a fun-loving puppy-like dragon that's quick to anger but easy to love, an open and honest creature. She may not be Whisper's dragon, but like a first lesson pony, she taught Whisper how to ride. :)
She's my Jetta now.
:D :D :D

Ooh, cookies! *takes 10 of them*
Note: I started playing SoD itself earlier. I'm talking about my new/main/real account now, made in April(?) 2017..
So, *clears throat* as we all know, new people get a free adult rescued dragon. And i got a Flightmare, and named him Stardust, altough, i liked the "real" way, where you get a dragon from the hatchery, so i just pretented that Stardust would be my "second" dragon.
Anyway...
I did the test, and it said a Nadder would be the best, and I completely understood that, because it's personality suits the best for me, but they were a bit too popular.
So I was thinking between the Gronckle and Monstrous Nightmare
Still, I loved the Monstrous Nightmare the most, they were so awesome! And Hailey (my viking) just needed a fiery friend by her side.
So, I got one for her, a red-orange coloured male called Firetooth. He's fierce, protective, but also a bit playful and very loyal towards Hailey.
I loved him (and I still do :D)
But there was only one dragon that could be perfect for Hailey: A Timberjack.
Timberjacks are my favourite dragons, and there's a good reason for it: they're peaceful, protective, very intelligent, and, a *cough* bit proud.
Perfect dragon.
I got mine and his name is Hunter, and he's my main dragon now :)
But still, I love Firetooth although I'm pretending that he was my first dragon, it really feels like that! I take him to battles very often, and, well, he's still kind of my main dragon! He's still in my main dragon stable!
We often fly around with my best friend's Nightmare, Flower
(I think Firetooth has a crush on her XD)
He's my first dragon, my little boy, and I love him! <3
*takes a cookie* This one is for you, Firetooth!
When I first started playing School of Dragons back is mid-2016, I started off with Monstrous Nightmare. I named him Firework since he was a character I had for a few years (about 3 by now). Since it was before the new opening, I went awhile without flying around. . .but the time and effort really paid off! Here he is now:
On my 2nd Viking (which is currently the main one I use and the one with the most progress compared to my other vikings at the moment), I got my first dragon during the new opening and rescued a Flightmare. He was initially going to be called Freezer Burn but the game wouldn't allow it so I just stuck with Freezer. I have an image of him in my signature but to save the time:
And finally on my 3rd Viking (Which is used for my HTTYD character), a Shockjaw was the trapped dragon but for the character's story, her first dragons were a Skrill and a Whispering Death (since she trained both at the same time):
