BeastKeeper News #20

Registration for the next exhibition is open!

We're happy to announce the start of a new exhibition sponsored by Conclave of Warlocks.

The theme of this week's exhibition is "A Perfect Toxin". All pets with one of the toxic dominant genes (Poisonous Teeth, Poisonous Claws, Venomous Skin, Stench, Acid Gland) may take part. Please read the full exhibition rules on the exhibition page.

Warlocks are working on a universal toxin and they suggested to sponsor this exhibition if we'll make it a bit special. We don't know why they need this toxin and we were told that it's not our business if we're not volunteering to test it, so let's hope that they need it as a base for a universal antidote. They are looking for Cockatrices (or maybe other special pets) that are able to produce the most powerful toxins. Toxin power varies from 5 to 10 points. The toxicity of a pet is calculated as (number of toxic genes x toxin power).

Although it's not enough just to ask the most toxic pet to produce some poison. Like humans have 4 blood types, Cockatrices produces one of the five types of toxin isomers (alpha, beta, gamma, delta or epsilon). Although unlike blood, combining the different isomers makes the resulting toxin a lot stronger.

A Conclave representative will test each participanting pet to find out whic toxin isomer it produce and how powerful is this toxin. All applied pets will get tags with test results that will be visible in their profiles until the end of exhibition.

Warlocks don't allow to use Mutagen on pets that already registered for the exhibition to avoid confusion and mess in their registry records. However they don't mind if a Beastlord decides to cancel an application for a pet, then mutates the pet and applies it once more thus creating a new registration entry for it.

Degeneration balance fix

Our players brought to our attention a problem that Degeneration penalty is too weak and makes breeding good pets too easy (suggestion thread here). The chance of getting negative genes is doubled for inbreeding in order to resolve this issue.

BeastKeeper News #19: Deviant Colors for Dragons

Dragons go Deviant

The Association of Breeders proudly presents deviant colors for Dragons! Please visit List of Skins and select "Dragon" section to view catalogue of the available variants.

Just like in case with Unicorns, these new shiny colors can be produced only through thorough breeding and with a dash of luck.

A reminder how to get a deviant color:

You need to select parents that carry same color or/and pattern genes. A baby born as homozygous (carrying two copies of the same gene) for color or pattern has a 1/10 chance to develop a deviant color when maturing. This mutation is phenotypic and not inherited by the offsprings of an affected pet. A gene that produces a deviant phenotype will be marked with a star.
The color name of such pet gets an asterisk (*) symbol to mark the deviation.

The only way to breed a pet with both deviant color and pattern is to choose very specific parents. One of the parents should have deviant color and the second one should have deviant pattern. The chances of getting a deviation on each color parameter still remains 1/10 so the babies with double deviation are extremely rare and valuable.

Deviant colors are available only through breeding. Wild pets can't have deviant colors.

It's not possible to get a deviant color by using Mutagen but it's possible to lose it in this way. The same concerns color mutation with the help of Forest Alchemist.

The basic Dragon skins have slight base and color updates.
