Not even with other Ancient breeds - a Gaoler cannot breed with a Veilspun anymore than it can with a Mirror. However, this means that each Ancient breed can have unique genes, some of which "break" the silhouette and lineart without worrying about apparel problems, and they can still wear skins to complement these traits! If this sounds complicated, don't worry; the genes function just like any other in breeding, and it's even simpler when you don't have to wonder which breed is more 'dominant.' Currently, the only [b]Ancient breeds[/b] are [i]Gaoler, Banescale, Veilspun, and Aberration[/i] dragons. [b]All other dragons[/b] are classified as a [b]"modern"[/b] breed, which are all freely compatible with one another.

[emoji=ancient] With a breed change scroll, any dragon can be converted into an Ancient breed at any time, but keep in mind [b]this will reset all genes to Basic[/b]. The same goes for Ancient dragons being changed to any other breed. [b]Modern breeds[/b] can safely be changed to [b]another modern breed[/b] without resetting any genes.
