Dragon Codex
From Dragon Mania Legends (DML) Wiki
The Dragon Codex 
is a book of Dragons in the game, it unlocks after Breeding, Hatching, and housing the first Smoke Dragon. The primary function of the codex is to provide up-to-date information on Dragons. Once unlocked, the codex is accessed by tapping the button at the middle-right of the main Archipelago screen.
Codex Parts
The main parts of the codex are:
- Collections - Groups of Dragons to collect for rewards.
- Dragon Codex - The complete codex of all Dragons that appeared during the time the Trainer played.
- The count at the top is the number of Dragons owned, separated by a slash, then the total number of Dragons added to the game data (regardless of availability or appearance during the current update).
- My Dragons - All Dragons owned and hatched.
- Leaderboard - Opens the Dragon Collector Leaderboard.
Collections
Collections are groups of Dragons that can be collected for various rewards. These collections are grouped into categories such as early game Dragons, all Common/Uncommon Normally-Breedable Dragons of an Element, Dragons required forBreedable Legendaries, Dungeon-Exclusive Dragon, VIP-Exclusive Dragon, and so on. Some collections have stages, which provide greater rewards upon completion of further tasks. Additionally, there also exist meta collections, which are collections of other collections that give rewards. Completed collections are always listed below incomplete ones.
Showcased Information
Each collection displays the collection name, Dragon snapshots or a full-size image of collection rewards, the collection rewards themselves, and the percentage of players having completed the respective collection. Dragons display a 
symbol once collected, and pressing collection reward Dragons only (un)hides the collection, instead of opening their Codex Entry.
Hiding
Collections are hidden by pressing the 
button, and unhidden using the 
button. When hidden, regular collections display only the collection title, while Meta Collections still display the reward Dragons and those necessary for completion. Sub-collections are completely hidden until deliberately unhidden, or until a new Dragon from a collection is hatched.
Meta Collections
Meta Collections are typically themed collections, where all Dragon's names or appearances follow that same theme. The only requirement to receive reward Dragons is to hatch and place the required Dragons.

Season Collections
The information may be incorrect or incomplete, and may change without warning.
Season collections are themed collections of Limited-Time Dragon that must be collected and hatched to obtain that season's reward, a unique Badge.
Stage Collections
Some collections have additional stages to the first. Once a Stage is completed and additional ones are available, the Trainer can complete the task for the new stage and get additional Rewards (depending on the collection). Stage Collection Dragons are Dragons that are always available in-game as long as any associated features were reached or unlocked. The only exception is the Dark Mysteries collection, the only outlier to the aforementioned convention.

Fairytale Megabitat
Breeding 12 Dragon of the Month Dragons is required to complete the four codex collections below. If all four collections are completed, the 5×5 special habitat reward pieces can be merged to form a single 10×10 Megabitat.
Note: Although the collections below are structured similarly to meta collections, and provide a reward similarly, the individual sub-collections are treated as separate in-game; thus, once a "sub-collection" is completed, it is sent to the bottom of the Collections tab rather than remaining grouped with its counterparts. Such collections are grouped here for clarity purposes.

Dragon Codex
The Dragon Codex tab provides an overall count of Dragons that have been, and can be, obtained (excluding Chronos or Clan Dragons) as well as a progress indicator. A snapshot of each Dragon appears below this, along with sorting and filtering options for easier searching.
The buttons at the right of the codex allow filtering:
By selecting a Rarity:
By selecting a specific Element (which shows any Dragon with that Element):
By selecting a specific Source:
Normally-Breedable Dragons.
Boss Dragons.
Card Dragons.
Limited-Time Dragons.
VIP Dragons.
Dungeon Dragons (only Dungeon Shop).
Enchantment Dragons.
Campaign Map Reward Dragons.
Card Dragons from Clan Events.
Arena Dragons.
Token Dragons (Only Permanent Token Dragons).- All (Dragons) to reset this filter.
By searching:
- Search Dragon (excl - Text field to search by species name.
The drop-down menu has two options:
- Default Order
– Sorting by LTD Dragons first, and allowing Order by rarity sorting. - 🡅🡇 Order by rarity – Sorting by Not owned first, and allowing All, and Not owned.
The second drop-down is for showing one of 3 options:
- All – Show all (once considered available) Dragons.
- Owned – Show owned Dragons only.
- Not owned – Show not owned Dragons only.
Note: Filtering is not reset automatically to the default when the codex is closed, the Trainer must manually clear the search bar and set all other filters back to 
to reset to an unfiltered state.
Snapshots
Dragon shapshots contain a mugshot, Elements, Skill levels (in some areas of the game), Type/Rarity, Enchantment Stars, Sigils (if equipped), an icon representing obtainment method (if not a regularly breedable Dragon), and a green checkmark if obtained. Non-obtained Dragons have a grayed-out snapshot and if they are a Limited-Time Dragon, Event-Only Dragon, or are offered in a promotion etc., display an availability countdown. The Elements of Dragons whose secondary Elements need to be awoken are visible, but grayed-out and marked with the 
icon.
Information for Dragons is viewed by selecting their snapshot, which opens their Codex Entry.
See Codex Entries for information about what appears in codex entries.
Duplicates
The Codex allows purchasing additional Dragon eggs for any Dragon previously obtained, as long as they can be purchased with Gold or Gems. Boss Dragons and regular Dragons that can be bred normally or within a limited-time period, along with the active VIP Dragons, can always be purchased, regardless whether the Trainer has them on their islands or not. Boss Dragons can only be purchased once, with limited exceptions, and only if they have been unlocked by defeating them in Normal Mode.
My Dragons
The My Dragons tab displays the snapshots of all Dragons currently owned by the Trainer, displaying the almost identical filtering and sorting options as the Dragon Codex tab.
| Dragon Collection The DML Planner Dragons function allows Trainers to track of their current Dragon Collection. Numerous search options are provided to rapidly filter between, and find, Dragons to add to the collector's stable of Dragons, which are then saved via Settings > Login. This aids in other planner functions and game activities such as planning for Dragon Leveling, Enchantment, Sigils, Temples and more. Read more about this sister project, the DML Planner made by Toomas, a DML community member. |

button displays the egg of that Dragon, and the _Button.png){kind=small}
button switches back to the current form.
For Dragons not yet owned, a button may appear at the bottom bringing the Trainer to the place where the Dragon can be obtained, the dragon cost, or text describing how the Dragon can be obtained. For owned Dragons, the following buttons appear:
