I would assume that to be the case. Hybrids are usually only born of one particular pair of dragons [for fun, I tried that combo and got a Royal Blue]

 

That aside, I'm now up to 2 eggs from each biome and STILL no luck getting a hybrid 

Dang. Oh well.

 

Got my two eggs per biome. Now to incubate 3 of them, and see what happens.

[DragonLady86]

I wonder if any of the fail breeds could also give the hybrid. Because guardian x royal crimson just gave me a guardian. So, i would have said it was the wrong pair if it hadn't already been proven. https://dragcave.net/lineage/WmLbD I realize most hybrids only have one pair. But we have a few (geodes and shallow water) that have more than one.

Shallow Waters only have one pair from what I know of. (Unless I just never knew.

 

Two-fined Blunas have two possible breeding pairs though. 

 

It's always possible. We just gotta keep an eye out.

 

Did any try Guardian x Red dragon?

I was quite successful (must be about 10 or so). Only 1 had no interest, only 1 had an RC egg I believe. They should drop in the AP a few days later

No hybrid from my testing.

 

3 breedings = 2 red and 1 guardian

Hey I actually am around for the drop still going this time! Yay!

Is it confirmed that Royal Blues don't work?

Attempted it several times. No hybrids.

I notice that Guardians and Royal Crimsons have similar elemental affinities.

 

Guardian: Light/Neutral

Royal Crimson: Neutral

 

Both also only appear in the Volcano.

 

Other dragons I found which had somewhat similar characteristics were Black Truffles (neutral, all habitats) and Scimitar-Wyverns (neutral, Desert & Volcano)  but these guys didn't yield any hybrids. Maybe we have figured it all out?  I didn't manage to test Pinks out, however (neutral, all habitats), so maybe keep trying!

[Chaosdawn]

Woo, new release! Too bad I only had two slots open.   I got two from the jungle, I can't wait to see the adults.

[Cthulhu]

I knew I should have checked the cave last night I just went to bed instead.  Got to go hunting.

[Ripan]

So between Canopy and Carina? 🤔

I thought at first that they had a somewhat 'hypnotic' feel to them - the colors, spiral, seems to draw you attention - but I can't come up with a word fitting that context. With them chirping as hatchlings maybe their deal is actually a luring call or song, in which the word elements 'canta-' or 'canzone-' could possibly fit.

Unless the name is something starting with 'cap' in which I have no ideas yet.

[DarkellaLord]

wow, hatchlings look so colorful ,yet subtle=3

The hybrid sorts between Nilia and Nocturne, I'm guessing Noble.

 

I have to agree with this name considering the new dragon's colour and origins.

 

Guardians = Blue, protective and loyal

Royal Crimson = Red, ruling and regal

'Noble' hybrid = Purple (a colour representing nobility/royalty), eggs are kinda protective, could be protective and ruling?

 

Thus, names could be: 'Noblity dragon', 'Noble dragon', 'Noble Guardian dragons', 'Noble Imperial' (based on imperial purple), etc.

I was going to say 'cunning' or 'charming' dragons but those aren't between N or R. 😅

 

Could 'Caret dragons' work? Relating to gems and their worth (financial value) or visual appeal.

 

@Jazeki Definitely contrasts with the lazy S2 Royal.

[dragonpuck]

so three biomes and 4 varieties????-- that should be interesting *sighs*

and hard to get a complete set😒

[trystan]

thanks TJ!!  

 

every week when it would get to about thursday, i'd have to plan my eggs to make sure that i was unlocked before sunday.  it paid off this week!  i have 8 of the new cave eggs - m/f influenced pairs from each biome, and randomly my last pair precogged at m (coast) & f (volcano).  we'll see how things go.

 

i have some CB guardians and royal crimsons that hopefully will cooperate when i'm unlocked.

[Laura-Borealis]

New eggs! And hybrids! 😃

 

What a time to find out I have no CB Royal Crimsons. 😑 But I'll just grab a couple from the Market when I'm no longer locked.

I tried two guardian x pink pairs. One pink, one guardian.

 

Bred myself a pair from guardian x rc, then kept going till I ran out of crimsons, trying to send some to the AP. Ten new pairs, four refusals. No fertility but that seems like an awfully high fail rate.

[Jazeki]

Maybe cantus dragons. I'll probably give mine a silly name like Canoodle or Cantaloupe or something, regardless. 

 

ETA: The female hybrid looks fierce!

Or maybe Biome dependent? My thoughts were:

 

Blue = Coast [it's got water colors]

Orange = Jungle [jungle flower colors]

Black = Volcano [magma/ash colors]

Pink = Market (because market eggs don't truly have a biome)

 

No no no no. PLEASE nothing exclusive to the market.

[Fuzzbucket]

Captivating ?

the biome egg is the "one [that] has many variants" - so could it be a variant for each biome where it's dropping, plus a 4th when an egg from any of those biomes is incubated? i know we already have a breed with that mechanic, but it's the first thing that came to mind to account for that behavior.

😧 I incubated every egg I had! Oh no...

[trystan]

incubating, hmm? since i don't incubate until 5d or 4d23-18h, maybe when my eggs get there, this will be known.

[Clark_Kent]

four different colours!! I wonder how they'll be determined. random maybe? 

[Murkydepths]

The variant s2 got lugia arms c8
