When Mask Dragons hatch, a small piece of their eggshell remains attached to their face. They could take it off if they wanted to, but these dragons feel the need to shield their identity from everyone else. Just what do these dragons have to hide?
As Mask Dragons continue to grow, the mask grows with them and contours to their faces. The masks remain on the dragons' faces for their entire lives, not showing their true faces to their mates or even Caretakers.

Epic Form
When it comes to picking mates, Mask Dragons aren't shallow. They believe that beauty is more than just skin-deep (though to be fair, they also can't see each other's faces, so what do they know). Mask Dragons with winning personalities are more likely to make caring mates.
Epic Mask Dragons are social butterflies (not literally; they're still dragons). They host lavish balls in which dragons fly from all over in costume to converse with one another. Just because Mask Dragons are already in costume, they don't have it easy; they need to be adorned in decorative garb to distinguish themselves from other Mask Dragons.
By breeding two dragons that collectively contribute Black and Pink to the type pool. If a parent has the appropriate minor types, missing requirements may also be added to the pool, even if neither parent has the originally required types. Minor types that have been split from other minor types can also contribute their component types to the type pool.
DISCLAIMER: When attempting to breed the Mask Dragon, you may get other offspring instead. Check the Breeding Calculator to view all of the possible results of combining a particular pair of parents.
Parents Behavior[]
The Mask Dragon has special behavior when it is used as a breeding parent. Unlike dragons with only basic types, it will obey the following rules:
When the Pink type is alone in the pool, it will add pure dragons of its component types (Red and White) to the list of possible outcomes, but it will not split into its component types. When Pink is included in the pool along with one or more other types, the Pink type can split into Red and White. However, if it is split, then Pink is no longer in the pool for the duration. Thus, the presence of Pink in a pool will either add the Pink type if it does not split or the Red and White types if it does split. There is one exception to this rule, and that is when both parents possess the Pink type. In this case, Pink can contribute both itself and its split colors at the same time.
When the Black type is alone in the pool, it will add pure dragons of its component types (Blue and Purple) to the list of possible outcomes, but it will not split into its component types. When Black is included in the pool along with one or more other types, the Black type can split into Blue and Purple. However, if it is split, then Black is no longer in the pool for the duration. Thus, the presence of Black in a pool will either add the Black type if it does not split or the Blue and Purple types if it does split. There is one exception to this rule, and that is when both parents possess the Black type. In this case, Black can contribute both itself and its split colors at the same time.
Although the Pink type can split into Red and White for breeding purposes, it still only counts as one type. This is important when considering the number of types for type-amount-dependent dragons such as the Diamond Dragon. Breeding a Forest Dragon with a Mask Dragon only counts as three types: Green, Pink, and Black.
Although the Black type can split into Blue and Purple for breeding purposes, it still only counts as one type. This is important when considering the number of types for type-amount-dependent dragons such as the Diamond Dragon. Breeding an Air Dragon with a Mask Dragon only counts as three types: Yellow, Pink, and Black.
Notes[]
The Mask Dragon's design is based upon the Eagle Dragon's, although there are differences between the two.
