THE SHORT ANSWER
The official FAQ confirms that every dragon color and tail type is possible. It does not publish a rarity table. Record the exact labels in your own result rather than guessing a color or tail from artwork.
Read each label on its own
A dragon result and a rider assignment describe different things. Keep your wing, section, and squad in their own fields; keep the dragon name, color, and tail in separate fields. This prevents a search for squadmates from becoming mixed up with a search for matching dragon results.
Player discussions include brown, green, red, orange, blue, and black dragons and references to different tails. Those posts are useful examples of the labels people are sharing, but a discussion thread is not a complete official catalogue. Copy what your result says before consulting fan interpretations.
A practical result checklist
Use a short checklist while the result is still available. Avoid filling a field from a book character or a similar-looking community image: a resemblance is not evidence that your own result has the same attributes.
- Dragon name: preserve the spelling shown to you.
- Color and tail: transcribe the labels rather than interpreting the illustration.
- Assignment: note wing, section, and squad separately.
- Date and notes: distinguish your actual result from a theory about how you obtained it.
What a rare-looking result can tell you
An unfamiliar label can make your result feel special, but rarity is a statistical claim. Without a representative sample and a known counting method, a small collection of posts cannot tell you whether one combination is more common than another.
If you keep personal totals, label them as your own attempts. Three examples in a notebook describe that notebook. They do not measure all players or prove that a color is becoming easier to obtain after an update.
Share the result, keep the context
When you want to find people with a similar result, a compact text description is often easier to search and read than an image alone. Include the fields relevant to the conversation and remove your email or any sign-in information from screenshots.
Keep book lore and game observations distinct. A detail associated with a dragon in the novels does not, by itself, establish a gameplay bonus, a signet assignment, or a hidden route in this website. Where the game does not explain a mechanical effect, leave that effect unclaimed.
Questions along the way
Does a tail type prove that my dragon is stronger?+
The sources linked here do not establish a gameplay strength ranking. Record the type without attaching an unverified bonus.
Can I calculate rarity from community screenshots?+
Not reliably. Voluntary posts are a selective sample and may include repeat attempts.
