Nether, chromatic, and infinite whelps

Dragon whelps (aka dragon whelplings, dragonlings, or broodlings) are the smallest member of the dragonkin species, representing the offspring of a brood. And as a result, are easily the weakest variation of dragons. In most cases however, where there are whelps, their larger cousins are always close by.

Even smaller and weaker than dragon whelps, are dragon whelplings. These are pint-sized companion dragons that in most cases, are dropped by the dragon whelp versions of themselves.

All whelpling pets (except the Netherwhelp & Frosty) have a 1 in 1000 chance of dropping, according to Eyonix.[1] The expected number of kills—at this rate—to get one, is shown in the table to the right.

Combat Dragonlings

Mechanical whelp

Mimicked to represent dragon whelps, engineers have developed schematics to create a mechanized version of these tiny dragons known as dragonlings. Unlike whelp companions however, dragonlings will fight for you, are only temporary, and are restricted to engineers.
