Baby Dragons can only be found around the vast Everafter biome in The Storybook Vale. There are four Baby Dragons you can meet, with one of each being tied to the four specific regions within Everafter.

How to approach Baby Dragons

Baby Dragons are very timid and shy creatures, so you need to approach them slowly and cautiously. Once you’re near them, they’ll curl up into a ball and hide. When they hide, stop moving, stand still, and remain frozen until they unravel. As soon as they do, you can approach and feed them.

The process for approaching this critter is the same as it is for Sea Turtles in the regular valley, so if you’ve befriended any of them, you should have no problem with these little creatures.

What to feed Baby Dragons

The favorite food of all Baby Dragons regardless of color is Pure Ice or Magma. Both count as their favorite food, so you can choose to feed them whichever one works better for you.

All Baby Dragons also enjoy Gems like Opal, but they’re not their favorites. This means it’s best to stick to Pure Ice and Magma to make them happiest and to have the best chances of receiving better rewards from them.

How to get Pure Ice

Pure Ice is a Gem you can acquire by mining any rock spot around the Everafter biome. This includes The Wild Woods, Teapot Falls, The Fallen Fortress, and The Beanstalk Marshes. It randomly drops from the nodes you mine in these areas, so the best way to acquire it is to mine all spots you come across with a mining companion at your side to increase your chances of obtaining extra.

How to get Magma

Magma can be acquired by mining rock spots around the vast Mythopia biome since it’s a Gem. You can find it in The Elysian Fields, The Fiery Plains, Mount Olympus, and The Statue’s Shadow. Make sure you mine every node you come across for the best chance of acquiring it. It’s also a good idea to bring a villager who specializes in mining with you to have a chance of finding more.

While you’re exploring Everafter, consider starting and working your way through the tricky A Sheep in Wolf’s Clothing quest that takes place there. You also might venture over to other biomes to work on finding and feeding Owls if you’re looking for more critters to befriend.
