gollark: I have, weirdly, gotten at least three dragons with "Terrafreaky" ancestry.
gollark: I have bred most of my dragons together while my eggslots were full. Soon, the nocturne-flooder will regret their decision, when a bunch of random stuff arrives, in two days. MWAHAHAHA!
gollark: You know, if we breed enough dragons together with no regard for lineage "niceness", we'll eventually produce a population of mostly-thuwed dragons.
gollark: They're my second favourites.
gollark: The chronos have the best pose in the images, too.
