    Title: Aether Dragon appearing in Hidden Vale Plains Encounter
    Reproduction Rate: 1 / 20
    Blocker? No
    Details: I was in a Stag Plains Encounter in the Hidden Vale. Once I cleared all of the stags, the "greater threat" warning came up, and it was not wrong! I ended up getting a Blue Pit Dragon AND an Aether Dragon.

    1) Is that intended to happen outside of the Comet / Aether Creature months?
    2) Is it intentional that two different dragons can appear at once? I've seen an adult dragon and a juvenile together, but not two adult dragons.

    Steps to Reproduce:
    1) Enter a Stag Plains Encounter in the Hidden Vale.
    2) Clear all of the stags.
    3) When the dragon spawns, get two dragons. I've done this maybe 20 times today and got this only once. So it it is rare.

    Thanks for the report! You're right, the aether dragon is too early and shouldn't be there. Issue #71239

    @Smegatron I checked the logic in the scene that controls which dragon version to spawn and it's correct. The way the scene works is that both aether and non-aether dragons are potentially active before the scene starts up, and while it starts a script determines which dragon type to shut off. I think the problem is there's a "race condition" that failed in your case and allowed both dragon types to activate. I'm hoping it was a one-off event, but let me know if it happens again and we'll have to make some changes to the logic.

    DevilCult and I looked over how the Aether monsters spawn and made some tweaks. If they don't get added to a patch, the update will go in next release.

    @Sannio and @Alley Oop ... I have not seen this happen since the fix. Looks good to me. And given that it is Aether season (I love that comet!) we cannot test it anymore until fall. My vote, FWIW, is to call this one done.
