Pet Traits

Each pet has a genetic sequence which is specific to each individual. This serves to determine the pet's appearance and can be inherited by children born from mating. A deep understanding of these mechanisms will be necessary to create the ideal individual pet.
There are 4 grades of traits: Common / Rare / Epic / Legendary. The higher the grade, the more rare and valuable it becomes.
Basically, the traits are inherited from the parents, but in very rare cases, the trait grade may be increased through "Gene Awakening".
Also, Gen0 pets may be randomly born with rare traits above common. This is one of the reasons why Gen0s are more valuable than other generations of pets.
Hidden genes exist in the genetic code of pets. These genes do not affect the appearance of the pets but they are present within the pets genetic code.
When pets are bred together, the positions of expressed and hidden genes are swapped, which may appear as traits in the offspring!
It is not yet time to give up just because the traits you are looking for are not expressed.
When pets are bred, occasionally, Pets with traits not possessed by both parents are born. This phenomenon is caused by either randomness or the awakening we will explain next.
Pets have a low probability of being born with a common trait that neither of their parents possess, and this is precisely what randomness is.
Through randomness of genes, Pets might encounter a new common trait that has not been present before, leading to its discovery.

Sometimes, two traits can interact with each other and cause a Gene Awakening.
Awakened traits are traits that exist only in the offspring and are not present in the genes of the parents. In order for an awakening to occur, mating is necessary. This means that the genes for awakening do not appear in the first generation of pets.
For gene awakening to occur in a Pet, specific breeding pairs and luck are required, making pets with initial awakening traits even rarer. It takes multiple generations of breeding to give birth to a Pet with a pure awakened gene.
