Xx Traits

[Aurorous]

So there are a few traits that in purebred wyrms are Xx in the first generation such as stinger, lure, and wings. If you cross such a wyrm with a wyrm that does not have that trait (most likely of a different species) there is a 50% chance of the trait passing on. My question is if you breed two purebred wyrms of the same species (say angler eels) both with Xx for a certain trait (say lure) is there a 75% or 100% chance that the trait will be passed on to the offspring? I assumed 75% before, but Sciggles said to me in a recent PM that both of my Key x Evergreen shriekers would be getting stingers because they are purebred. I'm not sure if I misunderstood what she meant or not.

More simply put, is it possible to breed two anglers and get a baby with no lure, two shriekers and get a baby with no stinger, two fairies and get a baby with no wings, etc.?

Hey Aurorous,

I believe because you are breeding a 'purebred' pair like Angler eels, you will get all the traits that angler eels possess like the lure for example.
I asked Zia this, a long time ago and it was just so that the purebreds stayed moderately the same in terms of traits.

So in short, I'm pretty sure the chance of a lure on an angler eel purebred is 100%

If i'm wrong, please someone correct me!

Just to verify what GT has said:

When pure breeding, you are guaranteed to get the breed specific traits, even if they are xX by default.
If for some reason you do /NOT/ want the breed specific traits, then you'd need to token that.

For example: Someone once wanted a pure-bred angler with no lure, which would need to be tokened.

Thanks very much to both of you for the clarification!

No, the parents have to have the trait. So you'd have to breed a shrieker to a growler.

If you had two grolwers, you cannot get a stinger even with the trait token.
One of the parents needs to have the trait in order for you to trait it.
If you Bred a Shrieker and growler then yes, you could trait for the stinger on the Hybrid

Short answer to your question is nope, you can't trait for a stinger when you breed together two growlers, they just don't possess the stinger trait

Edit: I am a very slow typer! Komi's got it! xD

thank to u both i am really trying to understand how this game work since i did a here and there breeding in the season and only go to one con a year to pick a wyrm or two up so i really am trying to get alot of info at one time sorry and thanks for being there

[NoMora]

ok now a another trait question maybe i should have one a day lol


but any way u can make the lure on the anglers longer if u a had a trait tocken

I'd guess that the lure would be bigger/longer than normal if it was XX, and smaller than normal (but still there) if it was xx?
