What a Speckled dragon looks like
Speckled is the super form of Spotted: two copies of the gene where a Spotted has one. It is graded Rare like the super form of every simple gene.
Pattern genes each work one part of the markings, their layout, shape or amount, so Speckled mixes with the other pattern genes into a pattern of its own.
Patternless hides it: a Patternless dragon can carry Speckled unseen and still pass it on.
How to breed a Speckled dragon
Speckled takes two copies of the Spotted gene, one from each parent, so both parents must carry it. A Speckled passes the gene to every baby.
Two Spotted dragons give a Speckled in 25% of eggs. Once you have one, pair it with a Spotted for 50%, or with another Speckled and every egg is one. Paired with a Normal, a Speckled gives a Spotted in every egg and no Speckled.
Patternless hides it, so a Patternless dragon can carry Speckled unseen and pass it on. For the Punnett square behind these numbers, see how to read breeding odds.
Where to get a Speckled dragon
Speckled turns up in crate dragons. In the pool of genes every crate draws from, the Spotted gene comes up at a rate of 8%; 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.
A crate dragon with two copies of a gene is rarer than one with a single copy, so the sure way to a Speckled is to breed two Spotted dragons.
