Tiger dragon

What a Tiger dragon looks like

Tiger is an incomplete dominant accent morph, graded Uncommon like one copy of every simple gene that shows with one.

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

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

Tiger draws a second set of markings over the main pattern. An element fills them too, so a Lava Tiger has bars of lava, and with two copies of Cobalt they turn cobalt blue.

How to breed a Tiger dragon

Tiger is incomplete dominant: one copy of the gene shows Tiger, and two copies show its super form, Super Tiger. A Tiger passes the gene to half its babies.

Because one copy and two look different, a dragon's look tells you what it carries: a Tiger has one copy, a Super Tiger two, and a Normal none. There are no hets to prove.

Pair two Tiger dragons and 25% of the eggs are Super Tiger; a Super Tiger paired with a Normal gives a Tiger in every egg. For the Punnett square behind these numbers, see how to read breeding odds.

Where to get a Tiger dragon

Tiger turns up in crate dragons. In the pool of genes every crate draws from, the Tiger 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.
