Animal husbandry will have discoverable blends of breeding.

• Rare creatures can be captured and tamed to breed animals with specific traits.
  • Pets, יצורי רכיבה and Livestock have unique traits that can be bred.
• Special mounts such as דרקונים are not breedable.
• Breeding will change the stats of the mount that is being bred.
• There is a form of genetics, but it won't be complex. Genetic lines react to the type of mount or creature that has been captured or tamed.

Animal husbandry and taming create unique mounts with unique abilities and stats.

• Speed.
• Health.
• Armor.
• Energy.

Animal husbandry involves a tree of its own that players get to discover via what pairings they choose... That's going to be a pretty fun aspect of creating rare mounts that haven't been seen in the world. – Steven Sharif

There are stages of development within breeding.

• Youngling stage: For mammals this relates to baby animals. For lizards (reptiles) this is an egg stage.

There may be a modified character creation system to accommodate customization of Summoner pets and Animal husbandry during the Youngling stage. This affects the appearance of the animal at adulthood.

• During the Youngling stage there may also be quests for specific types of cosmetic features.
• This is not a confirmed feature.

There is a compendium of acceptable parameters for breeding, which isn't going to be known until players discover it.

• This discovery may be different for different players.
• Trial and error and exploration and discovery of certain breeding habits and different quests may grant access to slots in the compendium.
  • This may grant access to specific types of mounts.

There's definitely going to be odd combinations, whether it's a butterflyger, giraffealope I don't know, but there will be definitely caps that are present. – Steven Sharif
