What happens if you breed those two traits together?

Post by Novanight »

I have been thinking about the traits and have a few questions about that happens when Sam's breed.

If I where to breed two Sam's together with Double Horns and Multiple Horns how likely is it that the Sam would have Double Horns, Multiple Horns or No horns at all?

Piggybacking on this XD

What happens when you breed two different types of wings together? Like feathered and draconic?

Or giant and vestigal?

Samanayrs don't follow 'real' genetics, so there's a 50% chance a trait will be inherited if one parent has it, and a 100% chance of inheriting it if both parents have it :D So if both parents had the same horn trait the foal would have it for sure, if each parent had a different horn trait the foal would most likely have at least one, and if only one parent has a horn trait it's 50-50 if the foal will have it or not. Hope that helps!

Sorry LvSoulFriend, I missed your post the first time around!

In the case of feathered x draconic the foal is going to end up with at least one pair of wings for sure. They may be feathered, draconic, or combination. In very rare cases, the foal may inherit both wing types and get double wings, but that's more of a random mutation. Some categories of traits do have a chance of resulting in a combination when bred together, like wings and tails :D

With giant and vestigial, the wings would be one or the other because it couldn't have a single pair of wings that were both giant and vestigial XD

Not without being very lopsided anyways... :D :shock:

Sorry...couldn't resist. The idea of a Sam with one giant wing and one vestigial just...makes me laugh. Poor thing...

Yeah, something like that. You feel bad for them...but it's hard to avoid being amused by them.

Would a Giant/Vestigial Double Wing be possible?
