Appearance
__________________
The appearance of your bred Sheepsy depends entirely on that of its parents. Consider several things when breeding:
???
Color: The colors of the parents mixed together will often lead to the colors of the baby. The exception is when a parent has an outstanding or unusual trait (see below).
???
Outstanding or Unusual Traits: If one parent has wings, the baby will have wings. If you breed that new Sheepsy with one without wings, and their baby with another without wings... over time, the wings will becomes smaller and eventually disappear. To keep wings in the family, you'd have to find another Sheepsy with wings to breed with.
???
Basic vs LE/LA'd/Custom: LE/LA'd/Custom traits are dominant. If you breed a Galactic Gala (LE) with a Beau Beau (Basic) the Galactic Gala's traits will have a dominant advantage. If you breed a Basic with a Basic, both parents will have 50/50 genes.
???Type: See below.
Type & Name
_________
Type is a new feature that decides both .
Each line (Basic or LE/LA'd) and each custom or custom set has a set type. Examples are Galactic for Galactic Gala, Princess for Beau Beau/Beau Beau II: Rendezvous, and Splattered for the Easter LA Watercolor. A bred baby carries the type of both parents until (through generations) one type becomes overdominant (3 of one type in a row).
Ex:
Princess + Princess= Princess (2 princess)
(that princess) + Galactic = GalacticPrincess (2 princess : 1 galactic)
GalacticPrincess + Galactic = GalacticPrincess (2 princess : 2 galactic)
GalacticPrincess + Galactic = Galactic (3 galactic : 2 princess)
Overdominant types can be seen through generations.
Name depends on type. Names are always creative, but the baby will always be named with type and parental history combined. Some are more obvious than others. For example, "Prince Chimera the RoyalSheepsy" (King Baaspiner the RoyalSheepsy + Queen Elebaa the RoyalSheepsy, based on a lion king and dragon queen) comes from a king and queen's son being a prince, and a chimera has the head of a lion and tail of a dragon.
However, "Neptune the GalacticPrincess" (Andromeda the GalacticSheepsy + Juliette Rose the PrincessSheepsy) may not make so much sense at first. The truth to this name? Lolita/Beau Beau fashion is Victorian Era inspired, and the planet Neptune was discovered in the Victorian Era! This was especially fitting considering Juliette Rose was Classical Lolita themed. Wondering about a name's origin? Just ask! Take potential names in mind when you breed Sheepsys, but have fun and experiment with unlikely combinations!
