Breeding Compatibility

Terigon have no breeding restrictions.

Other Notes
  • Terigon are genetic hybrids of terisen and dragons, and like the terisen, their appearance is determined by genetic code.
  • Though terigon do have the ability to bond naturally, they do so only rarely, and only at hatching. Only 1 in every 10 terigon is a bonder, but can survive without any ill effect if a suitable bond is not present. They can stand as candidates at any age, but only hatchlings will initiate a bond on their own.
