Night Light Dragon Adopts
--- Night Light Adopts ---
More in the next post
These look beautiful!
Nightlight: 1
Name: Starflight
Age: Same as Toothless in Httyd 2, so 20
Gender: Female
Personality: Starflight considers herself to be very independent, not needing companionship. However, deep down, she craves the joy of such things. Once you get to know her, you will find that she has a kind heart and is devoted to whoever she comes to trust.
Backstory: From a young age, Starflight had trouble making friends with the other dragons, even the Nighlights. Nobody really fully understands why, though some have their theories as to the reason. The most probable is the fact that, despite Starflight being a normal size for her kind, she didn't reach that until very recently, later than most of the other Nightlights, and even some of the other dragon species. Because of this, she was rejected by much of her kind, thinking she wouldn't amount to anything, her mother being one of the few who had faith in her. Even though she had her mother's love, Starflight felt that she wasn't good enough for other companions; her mother wouldn't be around forever. So, she made the heartbreaking decision to leave her home and live in solitude.
It wasn't until years later that Starflight reached normal Nighlight size, due to a growth spurt. However, because of her past, she vowed to never return to her former home, even though she knew her mother must have been heartbroken. While living on (what she presumed to be) the deserted island she found, Starflight came into contact with a small group of Nadders, who were surprisingly very friendly to her. She was initially skeptical and distrustful, but soon came to enjoy the company of these dragons.
Because of her friends, Starflight has now come out of her shell more than she ever had. She still misses her mother greatly, and promises that one day she will return with her new friends and see her again.
Anything else? No
I love nr6.
Name: Bighider
Gender: Male
Age: 20 years (as old as Denny[see backstory])
Personality: This big boy is a very playful dragon. He likes chewing on clubs and is always in in some fun. His passion is mimicing other species of dragons and even humans and doing stunts with his human friend in the sky. He loves to fly alongside his partner while he uses his flight suit, which has the same colour as his skin.
Backstory: Bighider is an offspring of Pouncer the Night Light. He is a special version of the Night Light because he also has a grey colour, something other NL's do not have. This was the reason why most Night Lights did not like him. One day, his father Pouncer took him to Berk. There, as a young teenager, Bighider saw humans for the first time. He was scared of them, until the kids wanted to play hide ande seek with him. Because he was very good at hiding because of his blend ability and the fact that he is bigger than most other Night Lights, he got the Nickname Bighider. On a summer day, he met a young boy called Denny. This boy had no friends and was always watching from his favourite cave how other kids are playing. Nontheless, this kid was a huge fan of flying and made his first flight suite at age 10. Bighider remembered this from when he wa young and approached the kid. The kid, first scared, fled deeper in the cave. Bighider follows him and shows him his flying skills. Slowly, Denny gets impresse by these stunts and approaches the dragon. The dragon, happy to see the child is not scared anymore, bonds with the kid. After putting on his flight suite, Denny and Bighider soar trought the sky and do many stunts. They see eachother skills in the skies and become best friends.
10 years later, the bondage between Denny and Bighider is that big, they can understand each other without saying something and can even "communicate" with each other. Now, they are great dragon riders. Nothing stops them from saving other dragons. Together, they rule the skies during battles.
Pouncer, who watched his son all the time, is proud of him.
Anything else: Bighider does not like fish, but prefers sheeps and chickens, just like his friend.
NightLight: Number 7
Name: Hvit (known to vikings as "The lunar phantom")
Age: Young adult
Gender: Male
Personality: Cautious and reclusive, but very curious and apt to bond with small groups. He also has a very protective side that he expresses from a distance. While open-minded and loving in his own way, there's good reason for his reputation of being spiteful to certain individuals that earn his disdain.
Backstory: (I uh, just couldn't stop. It's long.)
Wild stories from the most memorable invaders as well as survivors of the armadas that would go on to attempt a pillage afterward would tell of a mysterious being that protected the island. Over time, the message grew clear. Should anyone venture to the island with ill intent, an unknown entity that controlled the power of purple fire would bring its full wrath. A threat's final sight upon this Earth before being sent to their demise would be bright eyes, glowing red with fury.
Anything else? Hvit's favorite posession is a prismatic crystal once left as an offering, which he keeps among other posessions in his deep cavern lair.
Whoa, I loved reading that. Love the detail and life you breathed into this dragon and his motives :) I thoroughly enjoyed designing this one, so I'm glad he's going to a good life
Here he is :)
Thank you! :D I greatly enjoyed building the character, and found myself writing for hours trying to make sensible mindsets and motives on all sides and make minor characters as influential as they would realistically be in their given situation. I'll admit, I got a bit redundant, but I do hope the story had enough term variety to maintain a good flow. To his dragon community, he was just another Fury but with overly sensifive eyes. To humans, he's essentially the fury of the night itself without the context of the Night Fury species, feared but also loved. I wanted to capture a more direct 3rd person story-telling tone in the first half, with the second half taking on that of a "brand new myth come true" type of account, intentionally limiting my focus on his perspective when not "on camera" and eliminating any established personification of Hvit to ephasize his mysterious and foreign impression. He's a living cultural legend before the legend is lost to the past, with the historical records marred by mistranslations, speculation, and rumors over the coming centuries.
(He totally has a high ki.ll count and only feels slightly bad at times)
(Also, I see typooooos. Such is life, xD)
I love the detail you gave, and it flows really well together. I really hope you're able to do more with him.
Funnily enough he kinda reminds me of Manny from Faceless Neil, and his ominous nature to the villagers actually fit that well and it's amusing.
Nightlight: 8
Name: Snowblaze
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Personality: Snowblaze is very adventurous and loves going on long expeditions to nearby islands. He's caring and loving at the same time, always willing to help when someone needs him.
Backstory: Snowblaze was born to another light fury and Ruffrunner. However, he had orange and blue all over him, which was extremely rare. The light fury didn't exactly take a liking to Snowblaze because of that, but Ruffrunner cared about his son. He taught Snowblaze how to hunt and fight to protect himself and to never hurt other dragons unless he absolutely had to. Then when Snowblaze was 3, his mother had had enough of seeing him so she took him to a mountain outside the hidden world and left him there, barely having the skills to survive. She thought he would just starve so they could start over with a spawn that would look more like her and Ruffrunner, but Snowblaze surprised her. He spent many years on that mountain, hunting and exploring the new big world he wasn't used to. Finally he figured out the place his mother abandoned him was icestorm island. So, he found the ice caves at age 7 and started living there. It was perfect. Plenty of fish and meat, the dragons were friendly, and it was warm all day all night. Eventually he even became friends with a Groncicle name snowlight. Finally at age 14, he decided to go back and check on his parents, promising snowlight he would visit again. When he got home, Ruffrunner hugged him close and his mother was clearly shocked to see he was alive, two young night light babies at her feet. Apparently, the light fury had told Ruffrunner that a wolf had gotten a hold of him and it had taken him before she could stop it.. Snowblaze told his dad the real story and Ruffrunner was very annoyed with his mate. She had to promise never to do something like that again, or they would part ways. So Snowblaze was happy again in the hidden world, but often ducked out to go on expeditions to other islands and to visit snowlight. At age 16 he told his parents he was going back to icestorm Island but would visit them while on adventures. After saying his goodbyes, he headed out, ready for any adventure that came his way.
I think that fits everything! Thanks for doing these night light adopts again!
Yay! Thank you!!
I'M BACK
and wanting a new spooky red eyed dragon.
NightLight:5
Name:Corvin
Age:31
Gender:male
Personality:Shy and often hides, especially from night furies. He often cries in his sleep missing his parents. He prefers to stay alone and is always on the move, never staying on one island for more than a few days.
Backstory:Because of his unusual patterning he as feared by his tribe, they thought he was a "cursed hatchling", a dragon that would bring bad luck or misfortune to thier home. For years he was excluded from activities in his tribe, as they beleived he would someday bring thier tribe to ruin.
When he turned 8 he had a growth spurt, making himself about a foot taller than an average dragon his size. Lodun, the alpha, thought this was more proof he was cursed.
When he was 10 the Lodun had decided that he would be to dangerous and should be killed. His parents learned about the plot to have him killed and warned him. In order to keep him safe they told him to fly away and never return.
For years he travled the archipelago for years for years looking for a place to call home, where he would be accepted. Over the years he was feared by both human and dragon alike, earning the nickname "The Ghost".
(this is probably terrible)
Anything else?nope
Sorry Joy, you need more detail to get nightlight 5
Edit: You wanna try that one again Joy?
What do you mean by that?
The story doesn't really match the dragon, nor is it very detailed. May you flesh out the story a bit more? If not, I'm going to have to reopen it
Form
NightLight: 3
Name: Eclipse
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Personality: Eclipse is a very feisty dragon with a mean additude, mostly because of his size. He hates being called short and would even kill a titan wing Skrill to prove them wrong.
Backstory: Eclipse was created and hatched in a lab(same lab where one of my other OCs were created) in an attempt to make the most powerful night light. The scientists imagined a large dragon wing powerful, huge wings, sharp claws and teeth, and enough firepower to destroy an entire city. Unfortunatly for them, the dragon they got was a short weakling. One of the scientists decided to kill the dragon, but the other scientist wanted to train him. He put his hand near the dragon's snout, but the night light fled, and sliped through a gap in the door. He was forced to survive alone in the wild, avoiding any human contact, he even named himself Eclipse. Eclipse still remains wild till this day, but there are rumors of people spotting him among the stars.
Anything else? No.
NightLight: 9
Name: Neofane
Age: 20
Gender: male
Personality: Neo is a nocturnal dragon, preferring to do his exploring and wandering alone with the stars. He dislikes socializing and small talk, but tolerates it mildly. He has very few close friends, and he likes it that way. Neofane is rather open-minded but likes to be productive with his time. While he doesn't like interacting with others much, he remains nice, if a bit impatient, with others. He always seems sleepy during the day due to his nightly explorations so he usually finds a peacefully quiet spot to catch a few hours of rest before returning to the normal social dragon life. He loves the thrill of adventure and new things, but is rather cautious when there's any sign of danger. He isn't considered a cowardly dragon, but he isn't known for any reckless or foolhardy behavior either. Neo can be a bit distracted at any given time, but does his best to stay focused on the task or activity at hand.
Backstory: It's said that Neofane was born tired and only comes alive at night. Neo nearly gave his mother a heart attack when he first went off exploring at night on his own. Despite many warnings, threats, and groundings, Neo always found a way to bypass his mother. Neo grew up relatively normally aside from that. When he reached adult age and size, Neo began to leave the Hidden World often in hopes of finding new things. He wasn't disappointed. He's travelled far and wide, memorizing routes and wind patterns along the way. He finds humans to be a very interesting, laughable species that can, at times, be very frightening and dangerous. Despite their lack of natural defense, they've managed to survive in the animal world for this long, piquing Amya's curiosity. He has made it a goal of his to watch humans at any given opportunity in hopes of figuring them out. The idea of a dragon allowing a human to ride them was such a foreign, interesting idea that Neofane has determined to find a rider for himself now. However, he's learned from his hidden vantage points that not all humans have a dragon's best interest at heart. He's earned a few scars from the times he's almost gotten caught. Luckily, he was able to escape each time, taking a few fortunate escapees with him.
Anything else? not really; has a few scars from dragon hunter weapons
Brave boi, good luck to him in trying to figure humans out, we can barely figure ourselves out XD
Here you go :D
- Swapped for another nightlight -
NightLight: 2
Name: Amur
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Personality: Like the leopard species she's named after, Amur is quite reclusive and shy. Despite the frigid temperatures she lives in, she's quite the opposite when you get to know her! Amur is calm and sweet to those she trusts and skittish with those she's not. She's too much of a sweetheart to get into any kinds of fights.
Backstory: Amur was born to a brood of four dragons: one night fury mother and two nightlight siblings. Despite being the first to hatch, she was the runt and was often picked on by her siblings. One winter food became so scarce that her mother left her on the craggy cliffs of a mountainous island home to a skrill. The skrill, an old, gruff male with nothing better to do, decided to raise her himself instead of killing her. He taught her how to hunt, fish, fly, and fight. The two often went adventuring together, though Amur eventually wanted to reconnect with her mother, knowing that she had abandoned her out of desperation rather than enmity. The skrill, who she called Gruff despite him claiming to have no name, agreed to help her. Amur and Gruff set out and eventually found her. However, neither could get close because she was on Vanaheim. Amur's mother spotted them from the ground and flew up to meet them, hovering at the edge of the invisible barrier the sentinels guarded. Her mother told her that the day she gave her up was the hardest thing she ever had to do. Her siblings had both died the next winter and that was the last clutch of eggs she'd had because she was old. Amur's mother thanked Gruff for taking care of her, and Amur and her mother embraced before she went back to Vanaheim to live out the rest of her days. Amur ended up meeting a male night fury a few years later and had a clutch of five eggs. She, her mate, and their kids visit Papa Gruff every week!
Anything else? This was such a fun idea of an adopt event! Love reading everyone's forms! :)
Awe that was heart warming, feel bad for the mother tho... Hope Amur's kids learn as much from Gruff as Amur did from
Here you go :)
Tracking will edit it later
Artist Credit- Snudoo (Blue eyes is Night n Striker Male Nightlight and Green eyes is female Nightlight Wind n Sky)
Blue and Blacksand and Joy, you guys need some more detail in their backstories and personality to get those
I know there's only a few left, so I'm going to start working on some more now.
Be sure to send some designs you want to see on a nightlight. (Not your oc nightlight). I'm running out of patterns in my photo's so need some more inspiration to go off of XD
Will those that were given a Nightlight be able to claim another further down the line? Your art is truly amazing, and I'd love to flesh out another character; but I don't want to take any more than my fair share if these precious fellas are in short supply.
Oh no, you can grab another nightlight, even from the current batch if you wish, I'd love to see what more you'd come up with
Amazing! I'm gnna wait it out and see if anyone else comes to take these guys once they're off the holding period. I'd love to see just which new ones join the party aswell. I'm so glad that I got here early, cause it's no surprise just how popular they became in such a short period of time.
Kinda feel bad I only got nine out right now... XD And ended up stealing the tenth, but he was too gorgeous to let go... >.> I'll make up for it I swear...
Don't worry about it. The fact that you're doing this at all, let alone for no monetary fee is more than enough.
Well, I'm officially going to be stalking this post then, lol. Honestly this is a great way to give out adoptable dragons.
Kinda figure it would give people more reason to collect the dragon rather than just a shiny trophy dragon basically. Gives them more life and want to use :)
Hey Dyl, if you're still looking for ideas regarding your next group of Nightlight adoptables, I have a few ideas for some cool patterns.
African fat tailed gecko. It's simple but effective and neat patterning. I know one night light adopt already has a white stripe, but maybe another one can have one as well, this time in a different spot, I dk.
The shell of a Hawksbill sea turtle. Ok, this is a very complex and detailed design/pattern, but you can do your own interpretation of it if you want.
Sand lizard, female. I found the female pattern of this species to be quite neat.
Funnily enough, I actually used that very same leopard gecko's design for one of them, probably the white striped you're talking about XD
The other two look good, I might try them out
Oh duh, yeah, I thought it looked familiar! XD
The yellow-bellied slider turtle, I had one of these cool dudes as a kid. They have a touch of pattern variety, and can make for a a great muse. <3 (Turtles deserve love too!!)
The New Mexico Whiptail lizard. Fun fact: Some Whiptail species defy biology by being a female-exclusive species. They basically clone themselves and a few mutations are tacked on sometimes.
Piebald
Desert Ghost
Axanthic ball pythons are great because they can come in a multitude of morphs. Each of these creative monochrome beauties are one of a kind despite displaying very little coloration outside of black and white (not gonna lie, this can easily open the door for a monochrome calico-like pattern!!).
The white-lipped python. These awesome noodles come in black and white (some browns too), AND have iridescent scales!!
You've shown intrest in blues, thus: The blue spotted tree monitor. Blue in nature, it's rare and amazing.
The desert horned lizard. As though looking like an actual dragon wasn't enough, like other horned lizards, these little guys can squirt blood from their eyes as a defensive mechanism. Hey, a dumb (but interestingly cool) idea isn't dumb if it works.
Good ol' Gila monsters, the babies are the zebras of lizards. Are they tan with black markings or black with tan markings? A biologist might be able to tell you...
Zebras? Lizards? Zebra tailed lizards! When dealing in Nightlights, can you really have too many black and white reptiles? These guys say, "Nope. Just don't forget our fabulous bellies!"
Oh Australia, you never dissapoint when it comes to animals. The Australian water dragon: Always watching, always rocking the makeup.
They say you can grow up to be anything, so these guys became butterflies. Flying lizards?! Okay you got me, they don't actually fly, but those skin flaps do allow them to glide from tree to tree. They all have such beautiful wings, it's impossible to pick an individual. They have dewlaps too because why not? If you ever considered butterfly-esque patterns, but wanted to stick to reptiles as inspiration, these little guys are your prime opportunity.
Omg, those pythons are GORGEOUS! You came up with some great ideas!
Those look amazing!
I did actually use a few piebald snakes, but didn't use too many of them for this batch. Will also want to use that iridescent scaled white lipped python too.
I'll for sure use all the inspirations you guys sent, they look amazing :)
You're pumping out Nightlights a lot faster than I thought you would :0
Do you have an estimated time (including zone) that you'll be posting them? I'll be at work for several hours in the afternoon-late night, but I want to be sure I check the forums in time to reserve one before they're all snatched up (I'll have to reserve in the moment and write the character sheet later when I get home).
I got about 3 more nightlights left and 3 more surprise things left too, so it'll probably in a few days. Maybe Monday, or tomorrow if I'm fast enough. I'll try to them at night, maybe 11 pm mountain time. Just so it's there in the morning for everyone to see
I think you guys will like this batch a lot, lots of variety :)
Just tracking this beautiful art.
I fell in love with the second dragon's black eyes, so deep and dark but far from empty or malicious... Despite the "scary" eyes, she had such a kind look to her. I'm glad she went to a good home!
Also, the one with three head fins has such an adorable face!
Im excited to see how this batch turns out! I might adopt another one so Snowblaze has an adventuring buddy!
My apologies, I should have looked more carefully thru the thread before posting. I have now removed my request. And I will check out the next Open dragons that appear.
CB
Oh no worries Coal, the night light was in waiting until the other person added more detail into their form. But I havent seen any updates to that yet, so NL 3 is technically still available. But if you wish to wait instead, you're
more than welcomed to

I did say I was gonna do some Nightlight Adopts, I had about twenty planned, but only got about ten out.. Although I'm only giving away nine cause I got attached to one... Sorry >.>... I will be doing more if this picks up for sure, but for now, we'll just start with nine.
So, to adopt these dragons, you'll need to give it a name, a full personality (no single word answers, give me details), and a backstory. If any of it's lacking, I'll probably not give it to you, so be descriptive. I put a lot of effort into all of these dragons so I would like them to go people who will actually use them and give them some love. Once you get them, I'll give you the sheet with the chosen name and age and so forth.
This is technically a continuation of my "Fixing the Night Lights" thread from about a year ago... So, the first looks like Dart because that's the one from a year ago and it was the second rendition I did of Dart. I did not do either Ruffrunner or Pouncer cause I got majorly distracted by fifty other things then forgot and gave up... :T
I used various lizard and snake markings to create most of these nightlight patterns. So hope you like them :)
