Firetip dragon

What a Firetip dragon looks like

Firetip is a dominant accent morph, graded Uncommon whether it has one copy or two, since they look the same.

Accent genes add something of their own without moving the main markings, so Firetip stacks with every other gene.

Nothing in the game today hides Firetip: a dragon with the gene always shows it.

How to breed a Firetip dragon

Firetip is dominant: one copy of the gene shows it, and a dragon with two copies looks just the same. One copy passes to half its babies, two copies to every one.

One copy or two? You can't tell by looking, so the eggs tell you. With two copies every baby shows Firetip, even from a Normal mate, so a single Normal baby from Firetip × Normal shows its Firetip parent has just one. From Firetip × Firetip, 33% of the Firetip babies carry two copies. There are no hets: a dragon that looks Normal never carries Firetip.

Where to get a Firetip dragon

Firetip turns up in crate dragons. In the pool of genes every crate draws from, the Firetip gene comes up at a rate of 4%, tied for the lowest of any gene there; the Iron Crate turns that up 2.3 times and the Lava Crate 4 times. How often a crate dragon shows any morph at all depends on the crate: 8% in the Wooden Crate, 35% in the Iron Crate and 70% in the Lava Crate.
