gollark: So... it's missing eggs which have different biome variants but the same species (zyumorphs), ones which are similar-ish but have different subspecies based on biomes (xenowyrms), dragons with time-dependent hatching (sunrise/sets), hybrids (carina, geode), dragons with time-dependent eggs (fire gems)... anything else?
