Rocky Foxes are mountainous foxes that live in very rocky or mountainous areas like northern Canada, the Himalayas, Russia or Scandinavian Countries. They are very friendly, and easily domesticated. All Rocky Foxes have a long fluffy tail, and like a snow leopard, they will wrap it around themselves to keep themselves warm. Domesticated ones have been found to try and look after their human or even animal companions by curling around them and wrapping their tail around them. They come in natural colours like white or brown, and usually have very distinct markings.
This species is realistic, but obviously in roleplay etc they are sentient and can speak to each other like any other character would. You are free to do what you like with them, as long as it follows the rules and you do not edit the design, steal/claim the species as your own and sell it/trade it etc
How does breeding work?
How do they work?
In breeding, the artist numbers and 'rolls' for traits. One roll per trait per parent, per pup (its a lengthy process)
The number of pups you get determines what number (out of 2) is rolled. A minimum of two for parents owned by different people, minimum of 1 for parents owned by the same person.
1 in 5 chance of getting a common trait from an RF.
1 in 10 chance of getting an uncommon trait from an RF
1 in 20 chance of getting a rare trait from an RF
1 in 30 chance of getting a very rare trait form an RF
1 in 50 chance of getting a random mutation, not inherited through parents.
I.e
Rolled for 2 pups.
Father; Round pupil(1), different ears(4, no mane(19).
Mother; Heterochromia (sectoral, 3), backfur(8)
The traits are then rolled for;
Pup 1 -
Round pupil; rolled a 3 (failed)
Pup 2
Round pupil; rolled a 1 (success)
This determines that pup 1 does not get a round pupil (so they would get oval), and pup 2 gets their father's trait.
And the same would be done for the other traits.
The artist would then roll to see which pup gets a mutation.
Roll are done on this random number picker website
If both parents have the same trait, all pups will get that trait.
