[center][size=5][b]Breed Out the Ugly Challenge [COMPLETE][/b][/size] ----- posts welcome! special thanks to scarletite for introducing me to this challenge ([url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/qnc/3212862/1]check out their thread too[/url]) ----- [pinglist=20767] Introducing our founding disaster duo, [b]Frootloop[/b] and [b]Green Galaxy[/b]! Someday their descendants will be glorious and beautiful. Eventually. I believe. [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/92481093][img]https://i.imgur.com/BL4HXR7.png[/img][/url] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/89911931][img]https://i.imgur.com/8MHKRbV.png[/img][/url] ----- Many generations later, here is our winner, [b]Borzoi[/b]! Pride of his family, born under an auspicious star (not least because he was born [i]right after[/i] the perfect fest skin for him was released), his name shall live on in legend. Or at least in this topic. [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/94930110][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/949302/94930110_350.png[/img][/url][/center] ----- Rules (from scarletite's thread): [quote] [LIST=1] [*] Go to the AH and purchase the ugliest dragon you can find, typical exalt fodder. They must be triple-gened. Everything else is allowed. This will be your founder. [*] Find this dragon a mate. The first mate must be similarly ugly; following mates do not have to ascribe to this rule, but must be below 10kt in the AH. (No Scrying Workshop is allowed to help decide—only once you’ve locked in their mate.) [*] When they're ready, breed them together. You may cherry pick the heir you prefer. [*] Find a mate for your heir much like you did for your founder in #2. Repeat as many times as it takes to get a dragon you would permanently keep. At that point, the challenge is over and you have won. [/quote] Additional house rules: [LIST=1] [*] To win, I need a dragon I would permanently keep [i]without breed/gene changes[/i]. I may keep and change others (non-heirs), but it does not count as completing the challenge. [*] I'm allowed one "freebie" mate who is self-bred fodder rather than AH fodder. [/LIST]

Frootloop has four days before she's RTB (I forgot you could filter AH by RTB status until after I bought her, and she was too perfect to pass up). Hyped to kick this off in a few days!

[size=5][b]Generation 1[/b][/size] @pinglist-20767 Hatchlings are here! We got a two-egg nest, one male & one female: The boy is surprisingly good. Hickory flaunt has purple accents to match indigo, and the olive gembond gives him a mossy look. If I hatched these colors for, e.g., a birthday g1, I'd probably keep. However, for purposes of this project, mossy/earthy vibe is not quite my thing. Hoping for something more vibrant. [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/92913587][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/929136/92913587_350.png[/img][/url] The girl is going for a RGB gamer dragon look. Less aesthetic than her brother, but I think she's a more promising heir (I like red-range). She'll probably be the one to carry on the family line. I realize I haven't talked at all about my ultimate goal for the project, but I don't have a clear goal besides "something I like." I tend to like vibrant, wide-range XYZs that are surprisingly matchy and/or work well with outfits. idk! I'll know it when I see it! Short-term goals for the next generation: FIX THE TERT (1) No gembond (2) No swampy greens [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/92913588][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/929136/92913588_350.png[/img][/url]

[size=5][b]Generation 1, continued[/b][/size] @pinglist-20767 The hatchlings are grown, and [b]Octane[/b] is officially the heir. What an utterly garish weirdo (affectionate) (sort of) [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/92913588][img]https://i.imgur.com/n6G3rxm.png[/img][/url] Also, introducing her mate, [b]Hako[/b]: [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/92633692][img]https://i.imgur.com/jt5NMRH.png[/img][/url] ...he is actually a fairly plain boy under all that green. The ideal gene outcome for next generation is flaunt/toxin/runes. I'd prefer to stick with accented prim/sec as a high risk, high reward strategy: more chance of being weird, but also more chance of being something unexpectedly neat that charms me.

Not a keeper, obviously (or the challenge would be over), but he's unexpectedly nice with an outfit that leans into his mossy gembond. [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/92913587][img]https://i.imgur.com/JYqXHwX.png[/img][/url]

ohh exciting development! it'll be hard to go wrong with a pretty partner like hako. and wow, good job on Maojian's outfit. it's a real carry compared to what he looks like underneath haha [emoji=aberration laughing size=1]

@Quebeal thank you! getting to do outfit glowups for a bunch of ugly dragons is part of the fun of this project haha
