YAY!🥳🐉
Well, I figured that since now I have a bunch of little dragon headshots from my previous post on Fury genetics, I might as well have a little fun with them.
So I pulled up some RNGs to simulate the likelihoods of [insert trait here] and got rollin’. Consider this a practical application of the theoretical percentages in my previous post.
Traits I rolled for were sex, eye color, scale color, and spikes/fin. For any bicolor I also rolled to see if it would be mostly-white (represented by Pouncer’s face), mostly-black (represented by Ruffrunner’s), or roughly 50-50 (represented by the generic bicolor). This result did not affect their offspring; I just thought it would be a fun way to add more pizzazz to the chart since not all bicolors will have the same patterns, as we can see from the original trio.
Each descendant was given a clutch of 3 to keep things consistent, though of course irl they could’ve had more or less than that, or laid multiple clutches or none at all.
Each was also assumed to be breeding with a pure Light Fury, though I left the portraits off for the sake of saving space.
Here are the initial results:
I quickly realized that I wasn’t going to be able to get through as many generations as I’d like to due to crowding, so I started a second version focused solely on the bicolor lines. Once again, each dragon was assumed be be breeding with a pure Light Fury, and was given a clutch of 3. If they appear to have only one or two offspring, it’s because the other one or two rolled white. Here’s what that looked like:
Between these two charts I rolled a total of 22 BW+WW breedings. Out of those 22:
1 produced an all-white clutch, 10 produced one bicolor, two white, 10 produced two bicolor, one white, and 1 produced an all-bicolor clutch.
…wow, kinda crazy how smoothly that math worked out lol
But this chart was starting to get crowded too, so I took some of the Night Lights from the bottom row to breed them together and see what would happen. Once again rolling clutches of 3, but this time giving the second generation randomly-rolled bicolors to breed with rather than Light Furies. Since I was working on a smaller scale this time I also included the whole rolled geno string, including a trait I wasn’t tracking before: the leg spikes/fins. Here’s how it went:
Wildly enough, this lineage managed to produce not one but two almost-Toothlesses, a pair of identical brothers. ladies and gentlemen, we gottem. the roller has blessed us with pseudo-Night Furies lol

I have nothing meaningful to add, but this is just beautiful.

Reblog and put in the tags what your favorite How to Train Your Dragon dragon is (book or movie).
This is going to sound weird, but, I was thinking about how Deathgrippers are dragons that eat other dragons and I came to the conclusion that Rumblehorns evolved to complete with them. My evidence for this is that Rumblehorns can canonically punch through seastacks (solid rocks) and ships so if they do a hawk style dive bomb or a shark style attack from below the Deathgripper isn’t surviving and they have these massive pieces of rounded plate-like armor in areas that are the biggest target for a stinger that would probably keep the stinger from penetrating.
It’s a weird theory, I know, but I just like the image of a Rumblehorn repossessing a Deathgripper’s spine.
Wait, you’ve got a point…
A- a big point. Oh my… oh. OH. Yeah you’ve got something here! This makes so much sense! SHOOT
D'awwww
