@Valikor Hey, I'm becoming more active on FR again and they've come out with more genes and such since I last updated Burrowers for the expanded color wheel in what? 2016? I was thinking that Glowtail in particular could fit well as a possible tertiary gene for Burrowers! Given that the lore explanation for their glow is semitransparent scales, I was also thinking that Bee might be a good option for a secondary gene as well. Can slightly edit the lore description to include these if need be: "These impressive drakes often go unseen to those that walk the surface as they are more often than not deep underground, digging. These Ridgebacks are born with diamond-like hides and semitransparent [s]spines[/s] [b]scales[/b] along their [b]backs, tails, bellies, and occasionally even the membranes of their wings[/b]. Despite the crystalline structure of their bodies, they can move with easy, and their claws tear through rocks like thin sheets of paper. Their spines are constantly emitting a vibrant blue light, a bio-luminescence of sorts, that occurs simply from the Lightning energy naturally circulating their body shining through. This glow assists them while they tunnel, lighting the way through the bowels of the earth. Many dragons wonder why they can never find anything of value when they go digging for treasure. The most common reason for this that not many know about is that these drakes may have made their way through your lands, underground, out of sight, and simply 'borrowed,' more than likely, any mineral or stone of value from the dirt below. They often have an affinity for shiny things, and not much can hold them back from taking what they want."

I think both of those are great! The lore has been updated, and Bee and Glowtail have been added as acceptable genes c:

@Valikor Finally got the funds for the Bee genes I needed to get this pair done! Could I get Cadaver and Decay registered as 'Bleached Bones?'

@Valikor
Hi ! I'm very new to this, if I understood it correctly she fit the criteria for a Stormdancer, can she be registered ?
https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/81881044

Also I bought her on the AH from someone who isn't on the breeder list, does it matter ?
Thank you very much ! :)
