I thought it might be useful if we compared notes on how many attempts it has taken us to produce the known hybrids so far - to give us an idea how many failed attempts we should accept when experimenting, before moving on!

I didn't count for the blue variation of the ostrich, but he seems common, as does the Skull Island Macaw. I hit them both the first or second time, which seems to be what a lot of other people are finding; I expect they are a much more common result than the other four hybrids.

I counted carefully with those four, and here is how many it took me:
Grimtooth Reaper: 9 attempts
Tiger Shark: 15 attempts
Frostbiter: 6 attempts
Emusaur: 5 attempts

Since it is a random chance, this information individually is not particularly valuable (esp. since the chance to produce the hybrid may not be consistent between them). But the more people who have kept a count and report in, the better the chance that we can begin to obtain a feel for it.

Good luck to all of your Mighty Morphing Pirate Wranglers out there!!

Grimtooth: 25
Tiger Shark: 3
Frostbiter: 1 but I hatched with an adult Frostbiter
Emusaur: 15 (estimate)

Calamity, in all of my efforts it was the base pets (orchid chameleon and ostrich, sabre-toothed bunny and thresher shark, etc.).

I suspect a lot of people who have been experimenting have not been keeping an count of efforts; hopefully we can encourage more to do so! And thanks for your contribution, Chrissy.

I have tried to organized experiments so far, which is what started me thinking about how many was enough before abandoning a pairing as unlikely. I went 20 morphs with orchid chameleons and ebon specters (although for the life of me I don't remember now the inspiration behind that pairing) and wound up with 11 OCs and 9 ESs but nothing else. Then I did 15 with No So Great Whites + LL Golems, also with no luck (in that case I was fishing for a mecha-shark like the one in the old godzilla movie).

The Emusaur seems to be the easiest to get, my Privy had just 4 attempts when she got hers. Now my Buc and Musk have one after only three attempts.

That I have evidence for (and on only one pirate -- I've been trying on several) it took me 13 tries to get the emusaur. I know it was more -- I have sold I don't know how many blue ostriches and not so very good orchid chameleons.

Sort answer is: too many.

Grimtooth Reaper: 1 try per Grimtooth. I have two, and only morphed for each one once. The first I got hatching by myself, and the second I got hatching with another pirate.

ONE TRY *Cries* Not really, just being dramatic.

(Don't cry Chrissy, there's a party tonight!) What can I say? The Grimtooth is so tiny and cute! And creepy. Now, my quest for hybrids has turned to the Tiger Shark! All I need to do is level up my Thresher. Maybe I'll get lucky again?

Okay. I have decided that if anyone wants a Grimtooth Reaper, tell me. I got another, again in one try. So that makes 3 tries for 3 Grimtooths.

Okay.Well,I do.Which is why,you are to hatch with me.

Four tries for my Grimtooth Reaper. I finally got it when I morphed with Misty

Aye, aye, captain! The 'Farwell to Summer' party is next weekend, are you going to that one? We could hatch then.

Another party you say? Count me in!

Glitched Golden Dragon: 2 attempts. (Counting this because it is a technical "hybrid", although it will be fixed in the future.)

Grimtooth Reaper: 8 attempts.

Waiting to find a Hammerhead Shark to start work on the Frostbiter.

I don't think I mentioned my Glitched Golden Dragon (hope they don't retroactively "fix" ours when they fix the glitch). I either hit it on the first or second attempt.

Thanks for the additional data, Calamity, and good luck with the remaining two.
