Sphinxmoth and Hawkmoth Gene Errors
Apr 09, 2026, 12:23:01
Forum Post | Bug Report Forums | By Undel
Please check the known issues and working-as-intended sections before making a report!

This thread is to track any gene errors that occur with the Sphinxmoth and Hawkmoth expansion. This thread is for the newly modern and Ancient versions of these genes only, and does not encompass previously released genes.

In this thread, players may report any errors they encounter with the new genes. These can be technical errors, or consistency issues. This thread is intended to focus on these potential errors so that they can be addressed swiftly

We define technical errors as things such as: pattern bleed, pixellation, halo effects, inconsistencies within the same breed, color swatch errors, genes being uploaded in place of other genes, misaligned templates, missing artwork, gaps, missing pixels along a seam, missing line art, stray pixels, patterns that bleed outside the silouette, etc.


We define consistency/style differences as differences between an existing gene and its counterparts on other breeds that may differ. Sometimes this is intentional, sometimes it's an oversight. If a style difference is brought up, we will confirm it as working as intended, or report it as an error and complete the change within a 45-day time limit.


Please report any errors you encounter and we will do our best to correct them in a timely manner. This thread will close out in 46 days, on May 25, 2026.After this time, players may report technical issues with these and other gene errors in the Modern Gene Error Backlog Thread, but further consistency issues will not be accepted for review and will be considered working as intended.



Note that it may take a short while for the site's internal image cache to reflect the corrected image assets.

Corrected Issues
  • Snapper, Spiral, Tundra, Wildclaw - The template files for the Sphinxmoth gene was missing from these breeds. Fixed.


Known Issues


Investigating (Not sure if issue or not)


Working as intended




I will be deleting reports that are not relevant to the Sphinxmoth/Hawkmoth gene expansion, reports that have been corrected, reports are not considered an issue, duplicate reports, and discussion or chatter as I encounter/investigate them to keep the thread current with gene reports only.


This thread is accepting reports on the following genes only:

Tips To Ease Coliseum Wrist Pain

Forum Post | Help Center | By Aequorin
Hi @Outsanical! I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing this! Please make sure you avail yourself of our keyboard controls options, if they're helpful for you. You can find the toggle for mouse or keyboard controls here on the Coliseum page:
The control settings button for coliseum. It's a tan button with what looks like a carved in controller in a darker tan, almost grey. The directional pad and buttons on the controller are the same color as the button, giving them a raised look.

Controllers have been mentioned in the thread. I have to note here that controllers are not officially supported at this time and any third-party software required to run them is at the player's own risk.

With that said, what players have to do for accessibility reasons is what they have to do — so long as any accommodations implemented are not playing the game for you. One click/button press, one action. In the meantime, please know that we're committed to our work on accessibility support in our overall design, and that work continues.

I should mention that generally speaking, we never intended for players to spend extended stretches in Coliseum or bond with every familiar in their Hoard daily. To everyone: please, take breaks. Stretch, adjust your chair, keyboard, mouse, general positioning however you need to alleviate discomfort when at a computer or using a mobile device for any site, game, or online activity.

Any other questions specific to a physical/medical condition should be directed towards your medical provider of choice. A video game forum is not the appropriate platform for medical advice. Out of an abundance of caution, we're going to go ahead and lock this thread now. Thank you!

Adding Samsung internet to the list. Says it's the most up to date version (29.0.1.12)

I can't double tap the plaques because my screen just keeps zooming in and out when I do that. I was unable to find a way to disable this gesture in my accessibility and magnification settings.

Hi @Oraanu! To be clear: Not double-click/tap, but two distinct taps.

I can highlight the text. However, clicking the plaque does nothing.
OS and Chrome are up to date. Only having this issue on mobile.
Clicking twice does reveal if it doesn't constantly zoom in instead.

I'm on a laptop and I can't get my plaques to work! The text is invisible--- whenever I highlight the area, I can see there are lines of text there, but I can't read them! Is it a font thing?

I have April Fools toggled on and I cleared my cache. I still don't see anything :(

@Fridgefanatic, @Raptorgrrl, if this is a persistent issue for you, please add your reports to this thread here in the Bug Reports forum. Please be sure to include
  • Your device type and operating system

  • Does the issue persist after clearing your cache?

I have an answer for you — to prevent abuse, accounts under a week old are unable to collect from Galore. It looks like you registered on March 28th, so you should be able to collect on Saturday the 4th!
