Virtual Dragon Pets
If you are interested in virtual pets, but want something slightly different you could try a virtual dragon. This type of virtual pet is not much different than a regular one, except that it takes the form of a dragon. They still require feeding and training, but also have special features only available to this type of creature.
To create your virtual dragon you simply need to visit a website that offers this type of creature. You can choose the size, shape, color and name of your dragon and once it is created you can start to train and care for it. Some of the more interactive sites allow you to fight other dragons and share secrets with other dragon trainers. This allows you to increase the level of your dragon which increases its fighting ability. Training a virtual dragon can be fun and rewarding when it gains better abilities.
It is important to remember that although these sites are free they are supported by advertisements and some of the less reputable ones harbor spyware and viruses. It is important to run a virus and spyware scanner to make sure you are protected. Most games providers are safe, but it is always a good idea to be safe. Try to talk to other dragon trainers to get their advice on the best site for getting a virtual dragon.
