Care
Any growing dragon can be cared for. There are 6 care options to choose from, and each one will give a different reaction and raise a certain amount of the dragon's happiness bar. Cares can be given once per hour, with one additional care able to be done if you watch an ad or have Membership. Giving a dragon a care that exceeds the dragon's happiness bar will cause it to be sick. Caring for the dragon two times while it is sick will kill the dragon.
Vitamins may also be applied to the dragon in this menu.
View the Dragon Growth page for a more in-depth explanation on the subject.
Heal
When a dragon is sick, the Heal action becomes available. This will heal the dragon from being sick after a certain amount of time, though a dragon can be healed immediately using the 
Remedy item.
Dragon Drink
Growing dragons may have 
Special Dragon Drinks or 
Dragon Drinks applied to them to speed up their growth. Reaching 100% through the use of dragon drinks will cause the dragon to immediately evolve to the next stage.
Train
Growing dragons may be trained to raise any of their four effort values: Agility, Strength, Focus, and Intellect. These effort values may determine what personality your dragon will have when it grows up.
View the Training page for a more in-depth explanation on the subject.
Incubate
Growing dragons may be placed in the Incubator, where they can be viewed by other players and will slowly grow overtime. Dragons placed in the Incubator will not die so long as they have some time left, even if not cared for, and will grow into the next stage after a while. Dragons can be removed from the Incubator at any time.
Sick dragons will be automatically taken out of the Incubator.
Shelter
Growing dragons can be sent to the Shelter if they are unwanted, removing it from your Dragon tab and no longer contributing to your egg/nurture limit. This will allow other players to obtain and grow them themselves.
Depending on how the dragon was obtained, you may need to wait 5 hours before being able to send them to the Shelter, which typical for dragons that were obtained from Exploration. Sometimes a dragon may refuse to be sent to the Shelter, and you will need to wait an hour before attempting again. These waiting periods can be bypassed with a 
Dragon Shelter Ticket.
Dragons that are untradeable can still be sent to the Shelter, but will not be obtainable to other players and will eventually die.
Abandon
Any dragon can be abandoned, though growing dragons will contribute to your egg/nurture limit for 24 hours after they've been successfully abandoned. You can clear an abandoned dragon from contributing to your egg/nurture limit using the 
Broomstick item. You can successfully abandon 5 dragons every 2 weeks.
Sometimes a dragon may refuse to be abandoned, and you will need to wait 24 hours before attempting again. Abandoned dragons will be removed from the Dragon tab and will be considered dead. Abandoned dragons will remain in the Dragon tab for 2 weeks.
Some dragons' special actions can only be accessible through successfully abandoning them, such as 
Phoenix Dragon's Flame of Revival action or 
Mummy Dragon's King's Revival special action.
Bring Back
Excluding eggs, abandoned dragons can be attempted to be brought back. Most of the time, they will not return and be considered dead, however, there is a rare chance they will come back alive, or even as an undead version of that dragon.
You can only attempt to bring back an abandoned dragon once per dragon.
Freeze
Any growing dragon, with the exception of eggs, may be frozen. This will stop the dragon's growth and keep it in the stage it was frozen in permanently and cannot be reversed. Frozen dragons will remain in your Dragon tab, but will no longer contribute to your nurture limit.
The amount of times you can freeze a dragon is dependent on your certificate level, and resets every 2 weeks. Click the expand button for more information.

Breed
Any adult dragon may breed with another dragon, as long as they are compatible with each other. Dragons of opposite genders can breed with each other, and neutral gendered dragons cannot breed. However, through the use of the Special Actions#Light of Harmony special action, dragons may breed with each other regardless of gender.

Ascend
Adult/frozen dragons may be ascended if they are no longer wanted. This will ascend the dragon to Lathea, removing them from your Dragon tab permanently and cannot be reversed. This will also allow them to be viewable from the Lathea building in the Square.
