Its note

Splashery stretches a drumhead over this Splash's outline, twelve inches across, and finds the ways it can ring. Its lowest is 344.7 Hz, 77 cents sharp of E4, the nearest tine on the comb. The next fifteen are its overtones, and each one draws its own figure: sand gathers on the lines that stay still.

About it

Dragons are creatures of legend, told of all over the world. In many European tales they are winged, fire-breathing beasts that guard treasure; in Chinese stories they are wise, long, snake-like beings that bring rain and good luck. In stories, a dragon hatches from an egg, just as lizards and snakes do.

Tap it to hatch the egg: cracks run across the scaly shell, it breaks open and a baby dragon peeks out in a burst of golden sparkles. Tap again to go back. Pick an emerald, ruby, sapphire or gold egg in the Splash tab. With ✋ Hands-on on, pull the shell pieces off one by one: each snaps off and falls, and the baby dragon rises a little more with each piece gone.
