== Inbreeding ==
Even though it was undone, I wanted to make a comment on here that killing the parents does '''not''' prevent inbreeding. My source is me (developer), and the Wurm source code.
To elaborate more, the WurmIDs of the parents are still kept and stored on animals. When the WurmIDs of the parents no longer resolve to a creature, the names no longer show up on examine. When breeding, the check for inbreeding is made based on the '''WurmIDs ONLY''' - it does not attempt to see if the creatures exist still or not.
The reason people have thought that killing parents helps is because of another factor of breeding, and that's how traits are actually passed down. Without getting too deep into detail, the chances of inbreeding giving a negative trait goes down significantly the more traits each parent has.
