Epic Dragons are rare dragons that are hard to breed. In the world of DragonVale, “Epic” is an umbrella term used for a wide variety of dragons, including many limited-edition/expired ones. While any of these dragons can be created using the standard Breeding Cave, an Epic Breeding Island or Epic Breeding Sanctuary may boost your odds of getting the dragon you want.[1]
- Rainbow, Double Rainbow, and Triple Rainbow Dragons require a breeding combination that encompasses at least 4 elements total.[2] A Hail Dragon (Cold/Lightning) and a Tree Dragon (Plant/Earth), for instance, have a small chance of producing a Rainbow, Double Rainbow, or Triple Rainbow Dragon.
- Seasonal Dragons need to have the Plant, Fire, and Air elements represented in both parents. For instance, a Willow Dragon and a Fire Dragon could potentially create a Seasonal Dragon.[3]
- Dream Dragons need to have Light Hybrid Dragon and a Dark Hybrid Dragon as parents, with 4 total elements represented in the match-up.[4]

Opposite Dragons are bred with contrasting elements. The best way to breed this unique type of Dragon is by taking a primary elemental Dragon (like Fire, Water, Plant, etc.) and breeding it with a Hybrid Dragon. For instance, a Blue Fire Dragon is a combination of the opposing Fire and Cold Elements and can be bred with a Basic Dragon of a single element (like Fire), and a Hybrid Dragon of the opposing element (in this case, a Cold Hybrid Dragon like a Mountain Dragon.[5]
| Desired Dragon | Parent #1 | Parent #2 | Time |

| Blue Fire | Fire | Cold Hybrid | 12 hr |
| Current | Water | Lightning Hybrid | 16 hr |
| Dodo | Earth | Air Hybrid | 16 hr |
| Ironwood | Plant | Metal Hybrid | 12 hr |
| Malachite | Metal | Plant Hybrid | 12 hr |

Question
How do I breed rare dragons in Dragonvale?
Community Answer
There are many different rare dragons, but to get rainbow or double rainbow dragons, you have to use 4 of the elements fire, water, earth and air, or dark, light, metal, lightning. Longer breeding and incubating times means a better dragon, and you need a rainbow habitat for them.

How do I breed an epic dragon with cold, earth, and fire?

You can breed cold and earth for an Arctic or Mountain dragon, then breed a fire hybrid for a different way to get a cyclops dragon.

Question
How do you breed four elements?
Community Answer
Breed 2 hybrids, each with different elements, like swamp/storm, as swamp dragons are water/plant hybrids, and storm dragons are cold/lightning hybrids. Examples you could try are mountain/ash, quake/ice, and so on. For better chances at epic and rare dragons, try using 2 hybrid dragons of level 11 and up.
