Posted December 2, 2016 Another question :/ I just produced this egg (had no room *sad face*) but I am wondering what it would be called lineage wise: http://dragcave.net/lineage/fRfIu I have heard it called a "double arc" lineage. or if it continues and swaps a "double helix" lineage.

Posted February 6, 2017 (edited) //PLEASE_READ_THE_RULES_BEFORE_ATTEMPTING_TO_POST_YOUR_EGGS I came across this wat kind of lineage is it? If you want to post an image of your dragon, you'll need to host the image yourself or use images from the wiki. But you don't need an image for your purposes, just a link. The correct link to post for a growing creature is a lineage link, not a view link. In any case, that line is "messy". There is no coherent pattern to it; mismatching generations were bred together, creating a "messy" lineage. Even though each of the parents themselves aren't messy, they are messy when bred together.

Posted February 16, 2017 Excuse my total ignorance when it comes to breeding, but I learn fast and I want to learn as much as possible I have a question (the first one out of many more I will ask for sure): The result of breeding my two Frostbite Dragons: Male Female what would it be called? First Generation (1G I assume)? If the question has been already answered, my apologies. Thanks in advance. Share this post Link to post
Posted February 16, 2017 (edited) 2nd gen The 1st gen are the CB parents themselves. See the lineage of one such child of two caveborns: https://dragcave.net/lineage/qhQ4b - the parents are labelled "1" at the top, the child is labelled "2" at the top. To see the lineage page of caveborns, just change the /view/ in their address to say /lineage/ like this: https://dragcave.net/lineage/AEvqK and https://dragcave.net/lineage/JvpBv Edited February 16, 2017 by Ruby Eyes Share this post Link to post

Posted June 7, 2017 Ok so I finished this lineage and now I'm not even sure what to call it? 5th EG something? It's the base pairs that are throwing me since they make a complete new breed. Share this post Link to post
Posted June 7, 2017 (edited) Ok so I finished this lineage and now I'm not even sure what to call it? 5th EG something? It's the base pairs that are throwing me since they make a complete new breed. I would consider that a "PB Hybrid", personally. It's about as close as we can get without being able to change the base. Likewise, if the hybrid was checkered with something else, then I'd still call it a checker. I have a Frost x Geode checker in the works with Frost x Stone and Stone x Stone base, for example.

Posted July 5, 2017 What is it called when instead of being a checker, the gender of the two different breeds switch each generation? I don't have a great example but I will breed this male magi with a female water of the same lineage: https://dragcave.net/lineage/KDMMK Thanks Share this post Link to post
Posted July 5, 2017 Mostly, it's an alternating checker. To be more precise, it's a gender-alternating checker (others maybe color-alternating, like this). Share this post Link to post

Posted November 8, 2017 (edited) Hi all, I was wondering if this new line I'm starting has an official name? I'm working on a stairstep (my first ever intentional lineage project!! :D) but the colors are differing because I don't have any holiday dragons, heh. I'm gonna keep alternating copper colors with different breed can blue females. Next is nebula! Assuming I can get it haha Edited November 8, 2017 by Nqli Forum wackiness Share this post Link to post
Posted November 8, 2017 @Nqli - as far as I know it would just be known as a stairstep. Pretty. Share this post Link to post
Posted November 11, 2017 For the record and since someone asked in another thread - a mirror lineage is a symmetrical one of any kind - like these two: https://dragcave.net/lineage/mtDEm and https://dragcave.net/lineage/46AWg They can be EG or a pattern - as long as they are symmetrical.

Posted December 11, 2017 i got this egg from the AP and it has a messy but actually not that messy lineage i really loved i wanted to share here https://dragcave.net/lineage/e3e5k Share this post Link to post
Posted December 11, 2017 That's a 7th gen even-gen, as far as I can see Did you see this thread in Site Discussion? https://forums.dragcave.net/topic/177564-great-lineages-found-in-the-ap/ Share this post Link to post
Posted March 10, 2018 What do you call it when an even gen is PB except for another breed along the edge? Like this or this. Is there a name for that? Share this post Link to post
Posted March 10, 2018 I'd call them "PB framed at the top/bottom with breed X". I don't know about official terms though. Share this post Link to post
Posted March 13, 2018 (edited) What would you guys call this? https://dragcave.net/lineage/Rkk60 I have it listed as a Double Spiral on my scroll. Edited March 13, 2018 by Dragongirl00100 Share this post Link to post

A typical spiral usually alternates back and forth with the offspring being male and female, rather than having two or three offspring being the same gender and then switching. I suppose double spiral (like you said) sort of fits. I think people may think of something a little different, though, when you say 'double spiral'. It almost looks like dragon wings or a mountain range. So to answer your question, I think this is quite a unique lineage and probably doesn't have a widely accepted name. A double spiral or double elongated spiral is probably the best way to describe it. (Elongated since the offspring doesn't change gender each time.) Share this post Link to post

I always called those spirals where it goes two or three or whatever before switching gender a staggered spiral. So I'd probably call it a staggered double spiral or something.

Posted March 18, 2018 I'd call the parents "3-step spiral", like this guy on my scroll: https://dragcave.net/lineage/n/Menu Blanche A combination of the two like in your example? No idea Share this post Link to post
