WIP: <Farm Name Here> - Tufted Nightgazers
Posted: Mon Sep 09, 2013 4:08:53 pm[Project Update]
This is being put on hold as a future project at this point, since I don't see myself being able to figure it out and start actually breeding toward these guys any time in the near future.
I also want time to work on completing the concept drawings and ideas for a more unique idea that I came up with for another breed, and which seems like it will be more within reach.
That being said...
I am not giving up the project for good. Just going to give this one a rest for a while.

Welcome to Lynxhaven Farms, future home of the Tufted Nightgazer Project!
What in the world is a Tufted Nightgazer?
Tufted Nightgazers are a developing breed of lynx-like Wyrms based on the genetics of Felines, Leaf Crawlers, and Jiao-Di, and they may also carry Swirl-Snout DNA. The required characteristics that identify a Wyrm as this breed are: ears, a feathered tail tip (plume), and plating. Some individuals' eyes may have slitted pupils, a feature that enhances their feline appearance. Some other desirable traits this breed may display are horns, a crystal, or heterochromia. Three major traits are prohibited in the breeding of Tufted Nightgazers: Pitch Black, Lace, and Wings. This breed should not be crossed with other Wyrms displaying those three traits, as severe impairments will be passed on to the offspring. In fact, Tufted Nightgazers are known to carry a genetic mutation that makes their offspring incapable of developing fully-formed wings, so hybrid offspring that would display wings often die early on. VERY rarely such hybrids may develop deformed wings but forever remain incapable of flight. Breeding them is an unnecessary cruelty.
