An example of a lineage page is on the right. Many users enjoy planning out special lineages, while just as many do not care about lineages. There is a Breeding subforum on the Dragon Cave forum dedicated to special lineages. As there are many types of lineages, breeding terminology has evolved to help users better communicate what kind of lineage a dragon has.
As of May 21, , the lineage view has been updated to take on a more "family tree" appearance as part of the many updates given on Dragon Cave's 10th birthday. Another small update was done on August 14, , to include a generation counter at the top of the page.
There are inbred checkers on some Fan-sites. Clean - The dragon is not inbred, but has no pattern, while still having a generally good appeal. Dorkface - This dragon is descended from Midas Dorkface and Shallyna'ar. Thuwed - This dragon is descended from one of TJ09's dragons. Dorkwed - This dragon is descended from a Thuwed and a Dorkface parent.
See the Dorkwed Breeding Projects on the forums for more details. Rainbow - The dragons are bred in such a manner that the colors in the lineage view resemble a rainbow. Even-gen - All the CBs in this dragon's lineage line up.
Checker - It is a type of even-gen where all the females are one breed and all the males are another. Some users consider a purebred even-gen a checker if it is made of a breed that is dimorphic, meaning it has a different sprite for the male and female dragons. When the bred dragons are male, it is a descending staircase like in example.
Word code : when you can read a word in the unique code of a dragon. The most popular are the ones that span all 5 letters , and are properly capitalized , or are ALL CAPS or all low caps, as well as the numbers only codes , as they are the rarest.
Then come the ones that are four letters long , or have a number as a letter like this naughty code , then three letter words , or codes that resemble phrases , etc. Animal codes are thought of as nice too, as well as codes that spell actual names, like HANS. Finally, some people really like palindrome codes, that is, they can be read the same backwards as they are when read normally. Some people think a nice name code is one that has a real-world name in it. Some people think that a name code has to be a readable code that spans all 5 letters and should have no numbers.
PS : when people ask for Name codes, they mostly as for Caveborn dragons, unless specified. Usually when people ask for bloodswaps, they expect to be offered something of exactly the same generation, unless they state otherwise. BSAs : it is used to refer both to the very useful Breed Specific Actions like, an action only a specific breed can perform and to the dragon breeds that can perform them.
There are more, but these are the most useful. You can keep reading about them here. HM : Honorable Mention. The only other caveborn hybrids that can exist from that point on are the ones owned by the game creator, TJ. All other hybrids can only be bred, and thus have to be second gen or higher. Some people asked for caveborn Hollies as their HM prize, and influenced them female, so those are the only caveborn female hollies that exist in game.
To gender wrong : when a hatchling will be the opposite gender of what you want it to be, you say it will gender wrong. It occurs mainly when people are taking the effort to build a lineage, and want the dragon to be of a specific gender in order for the lineage to take the shape they desire, and then the little thing genders the opposite. For second gen dragons though, it can be ambiguous as a second gen can be the base to build several types of lineages, but you can safely assume that most people want a second gen dragon to be of the same gender as their parent that is of the same breed.
Example: I like to build checker lineages, so this 2nd gen is gendered right for building a checker as well as a stair, which are the two most popular lineage types, while this one is gendered wrong for those purposes. GoN : Guardian of Nature, a dragon you can attempt to summon once per month if you have an adult ice, magma AND thunder dragon Dubbed: the legendary trio.
Alt : okay… this one will be tricky to explain, but bear with me. For example, the nebulae come in 4 colors: the male purple and the female blue nebulae, which were released first so for some time these were the only nebula dragons that existed. These CB alt blacks were won as Honorable Mentions in very old raffles, where the HM winners those selected but who did not win a CB Prize were free to choose whatever breed of dragon to have a CB of as a prize.
Some people chose to have a CB alt black as a prize, some chose cb hybrids Sophrosynes or a Hellhorse and some chose CB Hollies as those were very rare back then.
Unless some change happens in the game, during regular gameplay it is impossible to obtain a CB alt black, alt undine, alt dark green or alt spinel. They also call it Hoard. BBW: bright-breasted wyvern. But hey, the Breeding Mechanics are a thing! Dimorphism: some breeds have different sprites for their adult males and their adult females, and these are thus breeds that have Dimorphism. This is an actual term within the game. Earth dragon: the green dragon. FC: Floral-crowned.
Fog dragon : the storm dragon, because of its egg description. Gray Dragon: Storm dragon from the time most of the existent dergs were color based. GW: Golden Wyvern. Not to confuse with Gold Dragon.
Some people consider the GW to be a metallic dragon, but most people do not. I'm not going to go there. That's strange. You know what? I give up. You win. You've successfully weirded me out. And for what? To see if you could? Well, fine. You keep doing strange things without me.
