Eye mystery

Given the probabilities, I'm learning toward the former .. if it were a glitch, I'd expect we'd have seen more of it.

If we ignore the special offspring (Candyce) we see:

From (1) Donaghy is Genesis Water hiding Fire.

From (2) Rae is Genesis Meadow hiding Ice Crystal.

From (4) Hilda is Genesis Earth hiding Crystal Sea

The problem arises on (5).

Hilda x Donaghy produced Candyce who should be Genesis Earth (from Hilda) hiding either Genesis Water or Fire (from Donaghy)

If we use the random-replacement eye trait used for Lucky Irish Clover, and presume Crystal Dream replaced Genesis Water or Fire (from Donaghy) then Candyce is, instead, Genesis Earth hiding Crystal Dream.

Given that, then April's Candyce Jr. is Crystal Dream hiding Wild Odyssey OR BETTER and all is right with the world.

So, I'm willing to assume that the special offspring had an unannounced capability of providing a random eye trait replacement in a manner similar to what we saw a couple years ago with Lucky Irish Clover eyes. I'm glad Equinox is looking into it.

However, if that's the case, crystal dream can't be exclusive to the special offspring babies like Lucky Irish was. I got it from pairing the starter to a Bali Seal Lynx with Ody Kaleidoscope.
