Basic Genetics Guide

Are you bad at genetics? Do you want to know what all those little symbols mean? Well I've got news for you! I decided to make this thread to help out people during breeding season.

To get a basic idea of genetic combinations, go to the Wyrm Mixer (Made by Mercutio).
To get info on how to breed wyrms, go to the Wyrmhandler Guide.
If you want to see how complex bloodlines can get, go to Odele's Family Tree (Made by me).

If there is something I missed feel free to tell me!
Also note that this is a basic guide, and is only meant to give you some sort of idea on what your offspring will look like.

Other Info

  • Teslas cannot breed with other wyrms, or they will produce a fetus.
  • Breeding two directly related wyrms will cause genetic defects and will be sterile (Except for Teslas).
  • Getting curses or blessings will cause random results.
  • You can breed a wyrm with a dragon, resulting in a hybrid "wyvern".
  • Getting a bite from an infected wyrm will result in a sterile, infected wyrm who cannot bite other wyrms.
  • There are secret genes in each wyrm that only the staff knows about.

Thank you zia! There, it should be fixed now.




EDIT: With the new slaugs, I'm guessing they will have some new traits/breeding discrepancies. I just need to wait for the wyrm cards to come through! :3
