Dandipuffs & Mating

Mated dandipuffs can produce new eggs for the player.

Mating Season
Dandipuffs are able to reproduce as long as the flowers on the ends of their tails are open. The opening of these flowers generally corresponds with the moonphases. Dandipuff's flowers will bloom on every new moon and full moon. They also enter an official 'mating season' for the first two weeks of May, where they are in bloom continuously. A blooming can also be 'forced' using special potions. To read more about dandipuff reproduction, see the reproduction section of this article.

Choosing a Mate
Dandipuffs can be picky about who they reproduce with. They are monogamous, and can form pair bonds with other dandipuffs that they will consistently produce eggs with. In order to encourage a bond to be formed, the player must visit the page of a dandipuff that is not already bonded. There, they will have the option of 'introducing' any of their currently also unbonded dandipuffs to it. Once the two dandipuffs are introduced, you will be alerted to what the results of their meeting were. Either they will bond, or they won't. There are various factors that determine whether initiating a bond between two dandipuffs will succeed. If the factors are in their favor, they add points, if they are not, they subtract points from the overall value of their encounter. You start with a base value of 5. They must result in 10 or more points to successfully bond.

If their starsigns are compatible, this adds +5, if not, then -3. If neutral, then 0.

If they are opposite sex, this is +1. If they are the same sex, it is -1.

-3 for each danipuff with a shy personality type.

-2 for each dandipuff with a finicky personality type.

+3 for each dandipuff with a friendly personality type.

+2 for each dandipuff with a relaxed personality type.

If the player has used any potions or charms to increase the chances of a dandipuff bond forming, this will be factored in as well.

Dandipuffs of the same sex can bond, though it is slightly rarer for such a bond to succeed, and such pairs cannot produce eggs.

If a player owns both dandipuffs in a pair, they can control when they want them to breed (when applicable) and may keep all the eggs. If each dandipuff is owned by a different player, they must both permit the breeding. The owner of the female keeps the egg, though has the option of sending the egg to the owner of the male. Regardless, the owner of the male still recieves a point on their 'dandipuffs produced' statistic.
