STORMSLEGACY EDIT: Made a new thread for genetic questions! It merged funny so I'm editing the first post to include my first post: I have a degree in biology and absolutely love chatting genetics. I used to regularly tutor, no question is stupid and I assure you I make no judgements so ask away!
What would you like to know or feel would help you play the game?I(it's me the girl KIRITO who came back every day of OTAKON. I have a few with Xx or XX genes.... I just did a little about genetics dominate and recessive in science class but I still do not understand. Is it a different thing then the genes you have posted? Also I was wondering how do I know if I properly registered my gryphs?? (Lol sorry last question: I have a gryph with the gender thing blank.... It is a really cool fox that looks like a wøłf, and I do not want to put the wrong gender and get the wrong gryph.... What gender is it or is it the specials option or the undetermined where you are allowed to pick??)

If no gender is specified then you can choose.

About X vs other shorthand, We simplify the genes on the card so less mistakes are made during printing. When you refer to genetics if you are talking about a single gene out of context it's perfectly acceptable to short-hand it as X.
Dominant Black can be written X instead of Bl if that's the only gene we are discussing. Having other standard shorthand means you can write:
Selling a CSC with ddBL/blBb
And we would understand that means a dilute dominant black Common Steppe Cat with benign white.
Broken down it would mean: CSC = Common Steppe Cat dd = two recessive dilute genes so a dilute gryph (xx) BL/bl = a heterozygous (Xx) dominant black--means the body is black with a brown snout and possibly paws Bb = heterozygous benign white (less splashy than XX)
I can answer any genetics questions you might have, I'm going to make a thread in this forum so that you can ask away!

@stormslegacy With the next breeding season soon to be open, I'm considering trying something that's been on my mind, but I want to know if it's possible.
So you may remember that in the dragon game I was trying to breed tiger-like dragons, by breeding in the Banding marking from wyrms and then breeding for dragons with that marking and specific physical features to make it look like a big cat. Since the future of the dragon game kind of up in the air, I thought maybe I could transfer that goal over to here. But since there are already cat gryphs, I could basically just breed stripes onto a cat that didn't have any extra features (wings, horns, etc.) and have a creature that looks like a tiger. I expect wyverns could not be bred to gryphs, but in the last dragon breeding season I did manage to breed a pair of dragons that are far enough from wyrms to be considered "pure" dragons, yet they retain Banding.
So my question is this: could those dragons be bred to gryphs, and if so, would it be possible for the Banding marking to be carried onto their dragryph offspring?

I won't work with fluff but I would allow your hybrids otherwise.
Yes, I would allow the banding markings =) We were going to add tabby at some point, it would be the same but if you breed it in before I introduce it you'd have it exclusive for a little while. If you also bred in the white pattern from Foxes you might get the perfect tiger white too.

Cool, thanks! I did not expect fluff, as it was just a happy surprise that the Banded dragons had a tiny tuft of fluff on their tails.
I'm looking forward to seeing Tabby markings. I'd been thinking it would be fun if, for RP purposes, any Banded gryphs had a legend that they were descended from nature spirits (i.e. wyrms, but since this game is not officially affiliated with the wyrm game, the legend would stay purposely vague.) But if a separate-but-identical gene would be added later, that might not fit.
Now, since I have no cat gryphs, I need to go seek a breeding with one!

can hybrid breedings end up creating a new species of gryph?

Yes, but it would take a long time and enough line-bred generations that the offspring can breed true--that is that their offspring will bear the same traits that make the species unique. You would do this by drawing up what you would like to produce, and then working to fix those specific traits in the line. At bare minimum it should breed true for 3 generations, without relying on using the original parents in the final generation. THen you would create a small population and petition for inclusion as a species. The species would have to be very different from any that already exist.
You could also create your own variety of an already existing species by making an even more specific standard than exists and creating a breed club/purebred registry. You could even hold shows etc.

Since im loving the coppeside mixes so much, this will likely be a goal for me!

If you combined the 'Down Under' gene (I think is what it's called?) that makes snow lupes have the white underbelly, with dominant black, would both still show? I was wondering, as I want to try and get a 'Tuxedo cat' look to a gryph.

Yep! The dominant black makes the colored part black, but the white still expresses. The white is where no pigment is produced, for any reason.
