Morphs, genetics and appearance

Zero and Witblits

Zero and Witblits both reduce visible pattern, but they are different recessive morphs.

Breeder knowledge

Two separate morphs

Zero dragons are generally recognised by a patternless grey, silver or charcoal appearance, while Witblits animals more often sit within cream, tan or earthy colour ranges. Individual appearance varies and can change with age, temperature and condition.

A dragon cannot be identified as genetically Zero or Witblits solely because it looks pale or lacks strong pattern. Parentage and breeding results are essential.

Breeder knowledge

Responsible pairing decisions

Because both are recessive, unaffected-looking dragons can carry the genes. Accurate records are therefore important when planning future pairings.

Fusion avoids visual-to-visual Zero and visual-to-visual Witblits pairings as a breeding policy. That is a Fusion risk-management position and should not be represented as a conclusion proven by a controlled study.
