gollark: Er, the nebula parent.
gollark: So if you were, for whatever reason, breeding nebulae with xenowyrms, then I think the biome of the parent would matter.
gollark: ``` Q: What are the mechanics of xenowyrm breeding?A: A pair with a xeno parent can breed: an egg of a non-xeno parent, a xeno like one of the xeno parent/s, a xeno based off the biome of a non-xeno parent (ie a volcanic parent can produce a pyro xenowyrm), or a random xenowyrm (when purebreeding or breeding to a dragon without a specific biome location, ie its biome is listed as "cave"). ```
