''Dragonvale'' is a park sim along the lines of ''[[Farmville]]'' available on iOS devices. The player runs a zoo/conservatory for dragons, and they must purchase elemental habitats and dragon eggs, as well as breeding new species of dragon. Dragons collect coins based on their type and level, and levels are increased with dragon snacks (which in turn cost coins).

=== This game provides examples of: ===
 
* [[Bribing Your Way to Victory]]: Food, coins, and the rare crystals are all available for purchase for real money. Getting them, especially the crystals, makes the game far, far easier.
* [[Dem Bones]]: The Halloween-exclusive Bone Dragon.
* [[Elemental Powers]]: Most dragons are classified in eight elemental types: [[Green Thumb]], [[Playing With Fire]], [[Dishing Out Dirt]], [[An Ice Person]], [[Shock and Awe]], [[Making a Splash]], [[Blow You Away]], and [[Extra Ore Dinary]].
** [[Elemental Rock -Paper -Scissors]]: Most elements have a opposite, which they cannot be bred with (fire and cold, or earth and air, for example), unless you create a hybrid first. They will also be affected negatively by the Boost item for their opposite element.
** [[Infinity Plus One+1 Element]]: Originally Rainbow, Sun, and Moon; which had their own habitats and couldn't be bred with dragons of other types. Later surpassed by Gemstone Dragons, which have their own island, can't be bred period, and generate crystals instead of coins.
* [[EverythingsEverything's Better With Rainbows]]: One of the rarest dragons available is the Rainbow Dragon.
* [[Experience Points]]: Most actions, from feeding your dragons to clearing away dead trees, will net you experience.
* [[Floating Continent]]: Your zoo is located on a floating island. As you level up, you can get a whole archipelago of islands for your zoo plus the crystal-only epic breeding island.
* [[Follow the Leader]]: Of ''[[Farmville]]'', which was itself following other Facebook games.
* [[G -Rated Sex]]: Breeding Cave descriptions admit that nobody's sure exactly ''how'' breeding happens.
* [[Gotta Catch Em All]]: All the different breeds of dragons, including 3 rare dragons and holiday only dragons. There's even an achievement for it, though some of the rare ones aren't strictly necessary to get it.
* [[Holiday Mode]]: The islands change with the seasons, being snowy in winter and green in summer. There are also season-themed decorations for the islands and holiday-only dragons which can only be bred in the month surrounding their respective holidays.
