Midnight Wings dragon

What a Midnight Wings dragon looks like

Midnight Wings is the super form of Twilight Wings: two copies of the gene where a Twilight Wings has one. It is graded Epic, a step above the Rare two copies of a simple gene usually get.

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

Nothing in the game today hides Midnight Wings: a dragon with two copies always shows it.

How to breed a Midnight Wings dragon

Midnight Wings takes two copies of the Twilight Wings gene, one from each parent, so both parents must carry it. A Midnight Wings passes the gene to every baby.

Two Twilight Wings dragons give a Midnight Wings in 25% of eggs. Once you have one, pair it with a Twilight Wings for 50%, or with another Midnight Wings and every egg is one. Paired with a Normal, a Midnight Wings gives a Twilight Wings in every egg and no Midnight Wings.

What you see is what it carries: a Midnight Wings always has two copies, so there are no hets to prove. For the Punnett square behind these numbers, see how to read breeding odds.

Where to get a Midnight Wings dragon

Midnight Wings turns up in crate dragons. In the pool of genes every crate draws from, the Twilight Wings 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.

A crate dragon with two copies of a gene is rarer than one with a single copy, so the sure way to a Midnight Wings is to breed two Twilight Wings dragons.
