Buying art for gems

You get: a meat cake!

Genes that every single breed has are: Soil/Loam, Fade/Blend and Underbelly

Thorns are the only line-breaking tertiary that every single Ancient has

Auraboas are the only breed without Sparkle, Cirrus are the only ones that don't have Gecko or (somehow) Stained, and Everlux are the only Ancient without Blossom

When it comes to breed-exclusive genes, Cirrus obviously hold the crown at the moment, but Gaolers are actually in the second place with 2 exclusive gene pairs (Shaggy/Streak and Phantom/Spirit) and 5 tertiaries (Pinions, Scorpion, Shardflank, Weathered, Wintercoat). ngl that tert list just makes me think how great some of them would look on other breeds

On the other hand, Sandsurges only have 2 exclusive terts (Beard and Darts) and no prim/sec pairs

Aethers and Undertides have more genes than Modern breeds (141, 139 and 133 respectively)

Despite being relatively new, Everlux have more genes than Auraboas, Dusthides and Sandsurges (also Cirrus but that one's obvious). They're only 1 gene behind Banescales

Aberrations have exactly 38 of Primaries, Secondaries and Tertiaries each

Proportion-wise, Auraboas have the highest tertiary ratio: almost 40% of their genes are terts. For Moderns, that number is mere 26%.

Two sheets for primary/secondary pairs and terts separately. I set the link to prompt to copy the doc so you can play around with it in whatever way you want

Anyway fun fact, FR now has 123 tertiaries, and only 35 of those are for modern breeds. Aethers have 53, and are generally the specialest Eleven's favorite bugs with more genes than any other breed
