Bases There are four base rarities: T1 (most common, easy to breed) T2 (in between) T3 (least common, hard to breed) T* (doesn't have a rarity- applicator bases, very hard to breed) Your wolf can produce a base of their category or lower. So, a T3 can produce T3s, T2s, and T1s. Special bases (T*) don't have a rarity or tier because they are bought as applicators and applied to wolves. Got it? You'd better 'cause we're moving on. There are three shades for bases: Light Medium Dark They're just what they sound like. Light bases are lighter. Dark bases are darker. There are four color groups: Cool Muted Warm Monochrome These are decided by what the bases look like. Simple enough. Pup bases: T* bases usually "fail" and end up as, well, not a T* base. If bred to a wolf with a T1 base, their pups will be T1 or the other parent's T*. -T2, could be T1, T2, or T*. -T3, could be T1, T2, T3, or T*. -T*, could be pretty much anything. Other info on bases: Some bases can only be bred. Some can be found pretty much anywhere. For the full base chart, check out the Grouse House Guide on it. [link] Congratulations, you've passed base class. Now for eyes. Eyes Eyes are much simpler than bases! The pup will probably get one of the parents' eye colors. All eye colors have two or more 'fail colors'. Fail colors are eye colors that the parents' eyes can fail to, so if they have, say, electric pink eyes, the pup's eyes could be blue, purple, or red. That's everything you need to know about eyes. Markings Markings are kind of hard. If both parents have a marking, any marking, they don't have to be the same, in a slot then the pup has a 60% chance of getting a marking in that slot. If they have the same marking, the chance increases to 75%. If only one parent has a marking in that slot, the chance is 50/50. Marking opacities don't affect pass rates. The pup's marking is generally the average of both parents' markings, give or take a little. If there's no marking, that's 0% opacity. Claw. Nose. Skin. This is easy. There's a 50% chance you could get your father's nose/claw/skin color and a 50% chance you could get your mother's. Mutations Simply put, there are five categories that all mutations fall into. -Applicator (piebald torn, piebald uneven) -Genetic (albinism, melanism, hereditary cataracts) -Genetic Lethal (brachycephaly) -Random (spontaneous blindness, deafness) -Random Lethal (polycephaly, polymelia, conjoined twins) There are icons on your wolf's carrier report. -Green check mark= carrier -Red 'x'= non-carrier -Gray question mark= not checked -DNA strand= has mutation. Here's the mutation rates! -Non-carrier x Non-carrier= 100% Non-carrier -Non-carrier x Carrier= 90% Non-carrier, 10% Carrier -Non-carrier x Mutation= 15% Carrier, 85% Non-carrier, 0% Mutation -Carrier x Carrier= 10% Carrier, 10% Mutation, 80% Non-carrier -Carrier x Mutation= 15% Carrier, 15% Mutation, 70% Non-carrier -Mutation x Mutation= 10% Carrier, 20% Mutation, 70% Non-carrier Genetic Mutations: The four genetic mutations are: Albinism, which causes the wolf to have white fur and pinkish eyes/skin areas. No applicators will not show up. Brachycephaly, which is the only lethal genetic mutation. Hereditary Cataracts, which causes blindness. Blind wolves can't perform roles. Melanism, which causes the wolf to have black fur and skin areas. Eye applicators will show up, others will not. Lethal Mutations: Lethal Mutations are random (except for brachycephaly, which is genetic) and cause the pups to die before becoming an adolescent, unless you immortalize them. All current lethal mutations are visible and very obvious. The lower a wolf's fertility, the higher chance she has of breeding a lethal mutation. The four lethal mutations are: -Brachycephaly. The only lethal genetic mutation. Causes the pup to be stunted and the pup will die after three rollovers due to issues with breathing. -Conjoined Twins. The puppies are connected at the waist. Pups will die after nine rollovers due to issues with their digestive system. -Polycephaly. The puppy is born with an extra head. Pup will die after four rollovers due to full body paralysis. -Polymelia. The puppy has a lot of extra limbs. Pup will die after five rollovers due to weakness. Random Mutations: There are only two non-lethal random mutations. The other three are lethal. The five random mutations are: -Conjoined Twins. The puppies are connected at the waist. Pups will die after nine rollovers due to issues with their digestive system. -Deafness. The puppy is deaf. This is currently the only non-visible mutation. Deaf pups can become herbalists (and I think that they can become scouts, but I'm not completely sure) -Polycephaly. The puppy is born with an extra head. Pup will die after four rollovers due to full body paralysis. -Polymelia. The puppy has a lot of extra limbs. Pup will die after five rollovers due to weakness. -Spontaneous Blindness. The puppy is blind. Cannot be used in rolls. Applicator Mutations: There are currently only two applicator mutations, which you can recieve for buying gold cones on Black Friday. Neither are lethal. -Piebald: Torn -Piebald: Uneven They're very similar. Both cause the wolves to have white patches. Applicators do work on piebalds. Mutie Slang Nicknames/shortened versions of mutation names. If there are existing ones that I missed, please let me know. -Albinism= Alb -Brachycephaly= Brachy -Melanism= Mela -Piebald {either variation}= Pie Primary vs. Secondary Mutations: Simply put, primary mutations alter pose and secondary mutations alter colorations. A wolf can have a primary and a secondary mutation. All of the current primary mutations are lethal. All of the current secondary mutations are not. Conclusion Congratulations dum-dumb, you've completed this simplified version of two Grouse House Guides. If there is any information that you think needs to be added, let me know. I hope this helps! |
