Game Description
Some say Gaia existed before anything else existed. She is often called The First Dragon, Sibling to Kairos, Bringer of Beginnings, Mother of Magic. Whatever her true origins, Gaia possesses a unique nurturing magic that allows her to speed up the hatching process.


Update Note: Gaia does not have a Twin Dragon form, as it is a Legendary Dragon.


How to Acquire

Gaia can only be acquired by summoning or buying it. This can be accomplished by assembling three artifacts to upgrade the Nursery. The three artifacts are:

The artifacts are built by collecting ten fragments for each artifact, totaling 30 fragments. These fragments can occasionally be acquired through the Dragon Track, sending dragons on quests, or purchased with gems. A complete set of 30 fragments would cost Gem template 3,450.

Mechanics

Activate: Gaia can be activated once every four days using the "Activate" button. Upon activation, an egg of your choice that is incubating will instantly finish.

Gaia can be powered up using Vital Essence to reduce the incubation time of eggs at the Legendary Nursery. Vital Essence can be obtained when eggs are hatched, sold, or converted into egg pedestals, with the amount gained depending on the incubation time of the egg. To prevent exploitation of gaining Vital Essence (i.e., plant dragon farming), eggs with an incubation time of less than an hour will not create any essence upon being hatched, sold, or pedestaled.

  • Gaia is the first dragon to have a soundtrack play when breathing its elemental breath.
  • On May 31, 2019, Vital Essence was introduced to level up Gaia, with each increasing level reducing the amount of time Eggs need to incubate. Vital Essence can also apparently change Gaia's appearance.
  • On March 7th, 2022, coinciding with Internatinal Women's Day, Gaia received a special event celebrating her birthday. During the event, the Bellflower Dragon was released, along with the Hatchling of Magic.


Possible References

  • Gaia (γαῖα) is an ancient Greek word meaning Earth. In Greek mythology, Gaia was the personification of the Earth and one of the Greek primordial deities.
    • The terms "Mother of Magic" and "Bringer of Beginnings" may be referring to how Gaia was "the great mother of all: the primal Greek Mother Titan (Husband to Ouranos); creator and giver of birth to the Earth and all the Universe; the heavenly gods, the Titans, and the Giants were born to her."
