Growlers with Teeth

I've been really wanting to aim for a Growler with their teeth bared, but I'm wondering, since obviously it wouldn't be a genetic thing it is entirely 100% random on if you decide to do such a thing or not, or are there still methods of which I can still influence the odds to get a growler that show their teeth. (For example, if I bred two of them that shows their teeth, would there be a greater chance of getting one that does as well?)

Or is it just so random, that even two growlers that don't have their teeth shown have just as equal of a probability of having one with the teeth as well?

Okay, let me start by saying I'm not an expert in this area so I can't tell you with certainty, but I think there's a way to better your chances of getting teeth.

I had the opposite problem where I wanted a gentler looking growler and asked D about it. She recommended (at the time) that a breeding with an Omega growler (like Doorstop) with another gentler growler (pretend Reth is female) would better my chances of ending up with droppy ears, no teeth, less scars, etc.

Although there isn't an Alpha growler yet (that I'm aware of) I think if you breed with stronger growlers you can end up with a higher chance of them showing the traits you want. Obviously this is still random to an extent (Ymir's parents are Doorstop and Snaggle and he ended up with upright ears, teeth, and scars.). But I do know they base at least some of the physical traits based on the parents.

Ymir has much teeth.

Breed my girl with a boy showing his teeth and you should get toothy baby

But it is also sculptors whimsy and personality!

Paladin is a Doorstop x Melisandre baby, and he looks absolutely gentle. No teeth showing.

You can get teeth by breeding even if one parent doesnt have them. I crossed Snaggle the snaggly tooth growler with Guimauve my jiao-di. And both their offspring had teef. just not as much. But since im going for teef i have bred babehs from snaggle and daphne. and im gonna see how they turn out.

How much a growler shows teeth depends on: 1. Personality (read as: artist's disgression). If they sculpt a shy, timid, wyrm, they probably won't have as much teeth showing. 2. Genetic-disposition. If both parents are very teethy, you raise the chance of having teethy offspring.
