Text description for the featured Pyramid Method example family tree.
[ID: A family tree of Flight Rising dragons, leading down to a single female Pearlcatcher named Pickert. The 7 starting pairs at the top produce 26 total offspring, one from each pair larger than the others and then paired to the one next to them the create the second generation's pairs. One, on the far right, has a new dragon introduced that was not produced by a previous generation. The third generation has 20 total dragons and 2 new pairs. The fourth generation produced 18 total dragons and made 4 new pairs, all made from siblings on one branch and siblings on the other. The last generation produced 9 total dragons, 8 of which were rejects, and the only large one being Pickert, the goal dragon. Explanation text at the bottom left reads, "This project is probably one of the most straight-forward pyramid projects I've ever done. Other than Laharin substituting for one pair that failed to produce useable offspring, this project flower through the generations almost flawlessly. In the last generation, it took a couple tries to get a nice, close final pair, but there is no harm in breeding the pairs you can make in the meantime." End text. Explaination text on the bottom right reads, "I avoided common breeds other than Pearlcatchers when I made the first generation pairs, and for good reason. Of Laharin's six kids, only one was a Pearlcatcher. 50% odds are manageable, but it does make this easier if you can avoid them." End text. End ID]
