If this doesn't give you ideas to solve your problem, use it to ask a specific question about the process of the birthing the castes as your dragons. | |

| Dec 13, 2020 at 21:52 | comment | added | JBH | We're closer, but I'm still not sure what you're asking. Are you asking (a) what physiology would allow each "breath" type or (b) what process would permit a queen having all breath types to create individuals with individual breath types or (c) which castes should have which breath types? Those are all very different questions. Which one are you asking? | |

| Dec 13, 2020 at 17:47 | comment | added | JBH | If I'm correct, then it's important that you first understand (and present as part of your question) how the different casts of honey bees come to be from a single queen. It's well documented. Knowing (and having presented) that, and assuming (b), it would be reasonable to ask how something similar could explain your castes of dragons. BUT, You need to explain with a bit of detail each caste. That cannot be left to our imagination in any way, or the question becomes too broad/opinion-based/story-based. Can you edit your Q to add both sets of information? | |
| Dec 13, 2020 at 17:45 | comment | added | JBH | You appear to be asking for us to develop an entire very complex species. That's too broad and off-topic. (a) I'm not a fan of asking "how did X evolve?" because I've yet to be given a practical reason for why evolutionary pressure millions of years ago would have any bearing on a story "today." So I'm voting to completely ignore that. (b) Usually, asking about the development of multiple "types" (breathing elements) is considered multiple questions... but it appears you're really asking about the process by which that happens.
