"once" referrs to an instance and is related to the word "one"  as it refers to a single instance.

"ones" is the plural of "one"-- a strange idea in itself. Example:  a group of children could be refered to as the 'little ones' (group of small individuals)

You make that error a lot.

As long as we're off topic on breeding, I have an interesting thought. Since earning increases chance for rare dragons, the demon dragon catches my attention as it earns about as much as a wind dragon. The downside is that the tripple element adds more unpredictability.

Another thought... Putting dragons in Gregor Mendel's Punnet Square helps to visualize. Basic elementals also have two elements which are the same. Ex. A basic Flame dragon could be seen as FlameFlame.

The other angle is sex-linked characteristics, like color blindness. The Y chromosome is smaller than the X, so numerous genes have no counterpart. The missing square is occupied with a zero. The colorblind gene is located on the X chromosome on a site that is not present in the Y and is recessive. If a woman is colorblind, both of her X chromosomes have the gene. Therefore, her sons will all be colorblind and her daughters will all be carriers. Also, any colorblind woman must have a colorblind father.

From this perspective, we would see a flame dragon as FlameZero.

Does this mean that elements are stored on the X cromosome? Single element dragons are then male, having XY (where Y has no gene in the elemental section), all hybrids are female, and tripple elements have Trysomy disoders like down syndrome except if down syndrome made you kick butt? The analogy breaks because hybrids can reproduce with hybrids and in nature, most if not all Trysomies are steril.

Not sure how well that may translate... It's confusing me and I wrote it.
