Blue Belly dragon

What a Blue Belly dragon looks like

Blue Belly is a dominant accent morph, graded Uncommon whether it has one copy or two, since they look the same.

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

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

How to breed a Blue Belly dragon

Blue Belly is dominant: one copy of the gene shows it, and a dragon with two copies looks just the same. One copy passes to half its babies, two copies to every one.

One copy or two? You can't tell by looking, so the eggs tell you. With two copies every baby shows Blue Belly, even from a Normal mate, so a single Normal baby from Blue Belly × Normal shows its Blue Belly parent has just one. From Blue Belly × Blue Belly, 33% of the Blue Belly babies carry two copies. There are no hets: a dragon that looks Normal never carries Blue Belly.

Where to get a Blue Belly dragon

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