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 sufficient points 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 act as extra points in a talent. Even if a talent is at 3/3, inherits will increase the effect. Inherits can be positive or negative, and they range from -3 to +2, although anything below -1 is a special case. A dead creature can be reincarnated to reroll inherits. Inherits come in at .45, .6, .8, 1.0, and 1.2 growth.

Creature Creation method	Amount of Inherits	Explanation
Spawned through Creature Select slot	Generally low amount of inherits.	Creating a new creature will give you a small amount of inherits in random talents. You cannot get negative inherits on a spawned dino.
Hatching from an egg	Depends on the parent’s talents and growth. Also affected by incest and damage the mother took while gestating.	Dinos that come from eggs will have inherits based on their parent’s builds and growth. The more points the parents have in a certain talent, the higher chance for an egg to get an inherit in that talent. If the parents are related or the mother took damage while gestating, the eggs will have a large amount of negative inherits. Normal nesting can also give a few negative inherits.
Reincarnation	Depends on trials and build.	You can reincarnate any dead dino with growth higher than 0.8 . Trial points are very important for reincarnation. Having more trial points in a particular category (Survival, Speed, Power) increases the chance of getting inherits in that category. If the overall trial scores are above 85%, you can’t get negative inherits. You can check on your current trial points at any shrine, in the creature select screen, or in the character menu.
