Evolving Dragons
Certain dragons can only be obtained by transforming existing dragons in your park. To summon one of these dragons, you'll need to obtain the unique decorations required for the desired dragon.
How to Evolve a Dragon
If you've collected the required decorations, and have the necessary base dragon in your park, you can evolve that dragon using the steps below. The base dragon that you need to evolve can be found in the in-game breeding hints, accessed by tapping on a breeding area, then tapping the "breeding hints" icon.
- Make sure you have the necessary decorations placed in your park and not in your gifts menu
- Locate the dragon you wish to evolve and tap on it
- Tap the "Evolve" icon at the bottom of the dragon's info card
- In the pop up menu, tap to select the type of dragon you wish to evolve to, then tap the confirm button
- Tap the "Evolve" button to transform your dragon. Please note that evolving a dragon will cost 1000 Candy.
It is important to note that when you transform one of your dragons it will evolve into a new dragon, and the original dragon will no longer be available in your park. Please keep this in mind if you only have one of the dragons you wish to evolve.
If you’re new to Evolution and this very spooky event, please also consider checking out DragonVale’s Guide to the Dracomancy dragon.
Buying More Plays
After you use your last available play at the Old One’s Conduit, you will have the option to purchase an additional play for 5 Gems. Purchasing an additional play is entirely optional and you will still receive your 5 free plays every 12 hours as usual.
Golden Chests
Sometimes mini-games contain a Golden Chest that will provide special rewards. You'll always have a small chance to find a Golden Chest when playing games, but buying an additional play gives a 100% chance of a Golden Chest appearing on your next turn. Please note that this only guarantees that the chest will appear, and not that you will win the chest.
The Ritual Site
Similar to cooperative breeding, you can team up with friends’ dragons to compete in challenges and win Candy!
- Challenges will last six hours each
-
Choose the best dragons for the challenge by matching your dragon's elements to the elements of the current challenge
The Remains of Whitbee’s Castle
The Remains of Whitbee’s Castle rewards you for each day you play during Whitbee’s Candy Bash XII: Glimpses of the Otherworld.
Check in each day for magical rewards and special surprises! Earn free Candy and even dragons!
If you miss a day, don’t worry, you can spend a few gems to catch up. You cannot collect a day’s reward in advance.
You only have to login to DragonVale each day to be eligible for the reward. If you login, but forget to visit the Remains of Whitbee’s Castle, your reward will still be available to collect the next time you visit.
Spellforms
Certain returning dragons can be customized using the power of Spellforms. Dragons that can be enhanced with Spellforms are indicated by a mask icon in the lower right corner of their info card, and can be found in the "Enhanced" section of the Dragonarium.
Obtaining Spellform Pieces
The Spellform Energy Chests found in Whitbee’s Castle contain enhancements for Enhancement Dragons. Once obtained, these enhancements can be viewed and applied from the Altar of Alteration building.
You can also obtain enhancements from the Golden Chests found in Mini Games. A Golden Chest won in a mini game can contain any of the enhancements, and will start repeating once you have collected all of them.
Note: if you have all variations of the included costume pieces you will receive a duplicate.
The Altar of Alteration
You can keep track of your Spellform collection using the Altar of Alteration. Once you collect this building from your gifts menu and place it in your park you can use it to view all the Spellforms you've acquired. This is also where you can apply Spellforms to your dragons.
Please note that a Spellform piece will not be shown as owned in the Altar of Alteration until you have collected it from your gifts menu.
Applying a Spellform
You can enhance your dragons with the Spellforms you've collected. You can apply an individual Spellform piece, an entire Spellform set, or mix and match pieces from different sets.
Here's how:
- Make sure you've collected a dragon that can be enhanced with Spellforms. These dragons are indicated by a mask icon in the lower right corner of their info card.
- Tap the Altar of Alteration
- Tap the "Enhancements" icon at the bottom of the screen
- Tap the "Select Dragon" button on the left side of the enhancements menu
- In the pop up menu, tap to select the dragon you wish to apply a Spellform to, then tap the "Select" button. A dragon must be at least level 4 to have a Spellform applied.
- Tap the Spellform pieces you wish to apply to the dragon. You may select individual pieces, or apply/remove a whole set of pieces using the "Equip All" and "Remove All" icons.
- Spellforms can be changed at any time by returning to the Altar of Alteration, or by tapping the mask icon in the lower right corner of a dragon's info card
Eggy Hatchy
Eggy Hatchy is back this time around! There may be nothing new to learn, but your skills will be just as useful as always.
Once Whitbee’s Candy Bash XII: Glimpses of the Otherworld event begins, the Eggy Hatchy Portal will appear in the upper left corner of your park, close to the galaxy islands. You need to be at least level 11 to try it out, and if it hasn’t appeared in your park yet, make sure to update your application to 4.36.
Towers
Eggy Hatchy consists of Towers, and every day two new Daily towers will appear for new and exciting challenges. And every week, a new Weekly tower will appear, so make sure to login often!
Note - Towers give an extra bit of Candy upon completing all of its respective stages, but with Weekly towers the amount of bonus Candy is significantly more.
Stages
Eggy Hatchy Stages are organized into groups called Towers. Each Daily Eggy Hatchy Tower consists of 3 Stages. Players progress through the Tower by accumulating points when playing the Stages. Each stage rewards the player with Candy for completing specific goals.
The way you play is by tapping on an egg to select it, and then tapping on another egg that is connected to the first one by a white line. Tap the second egg again to confirm the “breed”. This will make the eggs merge together. To bank an Egg (taking it out of the board and banking the points and elements it gives), tap on the egg, then tap on the Bank button. A Stage ends when all eggs have been banked or no valid moves remain. Use your knowledge of DragonVale breeding to complete the goals and win Candy!
Note: If you haven’t accumulated enough points to unlock the next Stage, you can get more by going back to previous Stages. If you are replaying an already completed Stage, this will cost you 1 Ticket, but you won’t be given the special reward for completing it again.
Tickets
This feature uses a special currency to play - Tickets. You can find your current balance of Tickets on the upper right corner of the UI. Tickets to play stages in Eggy Hatchy regenerate every half hour, up to a maximum of 5 tickets. A countdown to the next free ticket is shown under the ticket balance. Each stage costs 1 Ticket to enter. Additional Tickets can be purchased in the Market.
Note - You can watch a vision to get a free Sponsor Ticket once a day! Simply head over to the regular Market!
Goals
Each Stage has different goals, which are listed in the Goals area, to the left of the Game Board. Make sure to complete all of the goals of a stage in one single run to get the rewards! Rarity has a large effect on the score of an egg. Hunt for those Rare and Epic dragons to clear those hard score goals.
Note: Merging the same egg with itself will lead to an extra level gained on the resulting egg! A twin egg means its score is doubled! And twin status will also never be lost in a breed, so use that to your advantage!
The Power-ups
Eggy Hatchy has Food Power-ups in addition to the Twin Power-ups. In some stages, you might have power-ups hiding under your eggs. You can activate these by moving over eggs across them during a breed.
Passing an egg through these Power-ups will have the following effects:
- Twin Power-up: The resulting breed will become a twin dragon, doubling its score! The Twin status is kept for all further breeds that egg goes through.
- Food Power-up: The resulting breed will be at a higher level than usual. In this case, Food Power-ups give 2 additional levels.
Note: Power-ups appear in random places and may sometimes be unreachable.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why hasn’t the event begun in my park yet?
Your park must be at least level 11 to participate in this event, which began on October 9th, 2025.

Why am I not receiving Candy when I collect from my habitats?
If you are no longer earning any Candy when you collect from habitats, that would indicate that you have reached your habitat limit for the day.
Why didn't I win the Golden Chest when I bought an additional play at the Old One’s Conduit?
Buying an additional play guarantees that a Golden Chest will appear as one of the possible prizes in that round, but does not guarantee that you will be able to win it. Please note that in Name that Dragon/Egg you must answer correctly before the timer expires in order to win the Golden Chest.
When does Whitbee’s Candy Bash XII: Glimpses of the Otherworld end?
Whitbee’s Candy Bash XII: Glimpses of the Otherworld runs through November 23rd, and concludes on November 24th at 02:00 PM UTC. It will not be possible to earn additional Candy after this time, but The Astral Portal remains open so you can spend any leftover Candy you may have.

What happens to my leftover Candy at the end of Whitbee’s Candy Bash XII: Glimpses of the Otherworld?

Why don’t I have any visitors in my park?
During Whitbee’s Candy Bash XII: Glimpses of the Otherworld, you will find pumpkins scattered around in your park as the clickable NPCs this time. Find them and tap on them for extra Candy!
Why did the theme and time of day in my park change?
With each event there is an accompanying theme, and depending on that, the time of day in your park will also be affected. The theme can be changed manually with the Twilight Tower building at any time, but the theme will revert back to normal day and night cycles when the event ends. You can easily tell what time of day is set by the active theme by checking if any lamps or other decorations that respond to time are active.
What is the skybox theme with the current event?
For the duration of this event, the theme is the Spectral theme, which is a night theme. It will go back to day and night cycles when the event ends, but this can also be manually changed from the Twilight Tower at any time.
