Breeding Plans for Xocoatl Dragons!

Recommended Posts

I had to start a thread for it!  They're too gorgeous not to! 

 

I'm very eager to see how they look with my favorite green dragons, Fever Wyverns and Equinoxes.  With their rich emerald green and the bright red chest, along with the creamy tones in their plumage, I think they'll be incredible with my favorite Valentine's dragon, the Heartseeker.  I'm only sad that I have to wait a whole year!  I'm also thinking that we might finally have a Holiday dragon that looks reeeeally good with the bronzey Antareans, which I love but have a hard time finding good matches for. 

 

(More to go in this post soon!  When I get home from work and can make mockups!)

 

What are all your delightful breeding plans?

Ah, a fellow Heartseeker addict! 😉 Hopefully we can swap 3rd gen HS x Xocoatl in... 2 years? Because I'll have to do that lineage.

I would love to! 

 

In the meantime, I really ought to work on getting mates for all of my... I don't know... 75 Heartseekers?  😅🥰

Honestly Xocoatls look great with so many things! I like several green options, especially Fevers, Almeralds and Undines:

Almerald

Fever

Undine

They're also cool with some bright orange, like Lihnseyre, Kingcrowne and Mageia Xeno:

Kingcrowne

I like contrast so I'm partial to how their colours pop with dark stuff, like Hooded Murklings, Labradorites (the iridescence!) and Luminox wyverns:

Luminox

Finally, Pyrrhichios!!! That is all...they both have iridescent plumage and some more neutral shades, it's perfect.

Such a versatile breed, I love them already.

I am sad because they are female, and so is my Shimmer.

 

I am actually planning on breeding mine (when I get some, as I am sure that there will be some coming thru the AP that were generated on the 14th as I hate to tie up eggslots) and just dumping the Xocoatlkins into the AP and hope others do the same.

@MissK.-- Thank you!  There are so many of my "dream pairings" in there! 

 

I got bored on a long commute and just made some collages of everything I love the look of so far:

 

They look so right for each other!!!

i've been playing around with 42's lineage builder and have found a few i love. my dumb tablet has a hard time with screenshot editing, so i'll just mention them:

  • motus cantormaris
  • citrine gemshard
  • gaia xeno
  • obidar xeno

the green of equinoxes was a little too bright for me - but i love them so i'm probably going to do them anyhow. 🐈

 

 

i'm looking forward to falling in love with more pairings in this thread. 💚 :D

I finally decided to learn how to use the lineage builder -- yay!!!  SO much easier than my old Photoshop method!

Gaia xenowyrms might be my favourite so far.

I expected to see a topic like this in the breeding board instead of the main discussion board tbh, anyway I posted in the Valentine breeding topic that I'm thinking rainbow Coppers if that works, and today I successfully got a Hellfire x Xocoatl so I'm gonna start one of those too bc why not. Thunder didn't work, guess it's either the wrong dragon type or maybe it's a fertility issue. IDK, I'm sure I'll have more Purples by next year.

I quite like how they look with Ke'maro Xenos!

I also like the Gold Floret pairing because of the feather detail. :P

Ooh!  They DO look really nice with Ke'maro!  I like how the feathers go together with the Florets, but I just can't bring myself to match them with true whites or true blacks -- their colors are so warm and gradient.  Maybe with Purple Florets, though?

 

My little sneakasneak baby is growing up...

Also, someone mentioned this above, so I wanted to throw it in.  It's so bright!

They looks very good with black & brown colored Monarch 😍  Xocoatl is absolutely love (I love all breeds with feathery wings + this colors!)

Yes!  I like how soft and nuanced the colors are on both.

 

And @purplehaze, that Lacula surprised me with how good it looks, as well as the Frill!

Well, I suppose check my sig for my true plans - these guys are too beautiful for me not to mega hoard - but I'm really looking forward to getting Fire Gem pairs out of them in particular! And maybe Glystere, I think they'll look really nice together

that was me! or at least i was one of the someones. 🐈 i'm actually not sure now, though... is it *too* bright? i'm having the same doubts/second-guessing myself about equinox. otoh i'm more enthusiastic about gaia x xocoatl than i was initially:

Screenshot_20230225-145001_kindlephoto-588543860.png.14f4b720920a68cacceb0e50aad4dec1.png

 

the absolute winner for me, much as i dread this because of the mechanics, is motus cantor 💚:

i'm also liking red xol more and more, so thank you for suggesting it:

I'm most excited about sapphire gems. I like them with blues! But they'll look fantastic with elux lucis, pyrrhichios and tutela, too.

Well, my first two instincts were Tutela ("it'll be dark rainbow x light rainbow!") and silver or Indigo Herald ("hope the Xoco plays up the rainbow on the Herald wings!")  We haven't hit a Silver or Indigo moon phase yet so I haven't tried the Lunar one, but I did do the Tutela cross and I'm not sure I like it, honestly.  Maybe it will improve if it hits 3G, so I'll at least breed my Test Tut a mate come next Valentines before deciding whether to switch to something else.  Hopefully the Lunar crosses will come out better.  Meanwhile I tried my other one with a Canopy, and am not quite sure how I feel about it; the green is a little too bright, but the other colors are a pretty nice match, maybe?

 

In the meanwhile, a friend of mine tried them with wild Shumogas and oh, no, I think it's the best combo I've seen yet: Look!

Yes!!  I think they look AMAZING with Kingcrowne... and Lihnseyre and Freckled, too!  Something about them goes so well with rich oranges.

You're so so right. Freckled are one of those breeds I like a lot but don't have the eggslots to hoard XD They're going to look amazing, especially with that pose!!
