A highly-specific request

[krait]

Would anyone happen to have a (named) male CB Black from the pre-Biome days? I'd love to have a 2G offspring from one, paired with a female CB Black from the Alpine Biome, for a lineage project of mine. I'm willing to catch and gift the mate needed if necessary!

I probably do. My account is old enough to go to Jr high now. 😂 If you wanna look, feel free. If he's unnamed I can name him whatever sounds good to you. :)

I'll look! Is jocosa also your DC name?

[jocosa]

It is. That would have been useful info to give you last night. 😂 Sorry!

I have one CB male Black from pre-biome days. I tried him with an Alpine female but got no interest. I can try them again next week if you're still looking.

Oooh, thank you! Can I ask what his name is? (Someone on the Forums very kindly bred one for me, which I appreciate, but to continue their name scheme I'd have to rename a whole bunch of my Blacks, so I'm definitely open to an alternate.) :)

His name is Corbin Black (for CB Black). Back when I first caught him, CB Blacks were pretty rare, and I was so pleased to have him, I wanted to name him something that said he was CB, without just tacking CB onto his name. So I gave him a first name that started with "C" and had a "b" in it. All my CB Blacks (I have 39) are named ____ Black. The Alpine black I bred him with is Claribel Black.

Oh, that's perfect! (And also cute!) :) It's something I could continue on my scroll for the rest of the founding stock, without being too specific or out of place with the rest of my names.

(I remember when CB Blacks were ultra-rare! Sadly, I never managed to catch any, which is why I'm in this bind now.)

Cool, glad you like the names! I'll be sure to breed them again next week.

My very first dragon was a Black, I picked her up off the AP. She's messy and inbred and I still have her on my scroll. I've always had a special fondness for Black dragons. I only managed to catch one CB in the old pre-biome days, but I collected a lot of CBs once they became easier to grab. I stopped once I had enough to breed a 6th gen even PB from my own scroll (plus some extras), but I still feel that reflex to click whenever I see "faint green glow."
