Talents

Talents are skills that each creature in the game can obtain using Talent Points. Talent Points are obtained over time as the creature grows. A spawned creature from the creature select screen will have 10 talent points for spending. Hatching from an egg won't have any talent points right away.

Talents come in 3 different branches.

Power Branch, red. Focused on combat. Inflicting more bleed, more injury, increased damaged.
Speed Branch, green. Focused on movement. Longer sprints, jumping higher, longer flights, faster swimming.
Survival Branch, blue. Focused on living longer. Stress Resistance, tougher stomach, more health.

Talent Points are spent in the talent tree. Each talent can be leveled up 3 times. All trees start from the center. Branches cannot level up other talents further out until the previous talent has a sufficient point to keep branching out. For example, say you are an Ory and you want Burrow Master 3/3. In order to make that happen, Adrenaline, Stoic, Persistence, Brawler/Bruiser all must be 3/3.

Inherits

Inherits are extra points into a talent. Even if a talent is at 3/3, inherits will add an extra value. They come in +1 and +2. A dead creature can be reincarnated for a chance to get better inherits. Example, say an Oryctodromeus obtained Surefooted+1 and Aqua Affinity+1. There's a chance that reincarnation could give Surefooted+2 and another talent inherit. Inherits come in at .425, .6, .8, 1.0, and 1.2 growth.

Inherit Method	Obtained	Meaning
Spawned through Creature Select's new slot	Majority +1. Expect few +2	Creating a new Creature is less likely to give +2 and will result in many talents getting a +1
Egg Hatch	Depends on the parents	There's no definite result when egg hatching. Could get some +2 or could get majority +1
Damaged Egg from Mother's Stress, Attacked, or Damaged Incest Egg (Parent mates with their child)	Possible Negative Inherits	Damaged eggs, most likely through incest, are more likely to have -1 applied to their inherits. This means, you will lose a point for that talent. Unknown if -2 can happen
Reincarnation	Depends on Your Trials	Reincarnating the creature, once 0.8 and has lots of trials (can check at any deity statue or on the creature select screen). The better your trials, the more likely you'll be getting +2's. But, if your trials are lower +1's, maybe even -1's can happen.
Sacrificing for Revival	Depends on Growth Size of the dead creature. Could also be dependent on what other creatures are used to revive the dead creature	When sacrifices are met, little to no growth is lost. Inherits at future marks should be the same
