Hello! I was reading the gold suggestions thread that said this about earning gold

Rosehill wrote: ↑March 1st, 2024, 10:41:34 am Current ways to gain gold:

• Maximum of 200 gold when posting
• 1 gold for clicking an adult or an unfrozen hatchling or an unfrozen egg. 5 gold for clicking an unfrozen egg if you have the Alicanto Heart item. Double these amounts if the creature's element is the same as your own element, so 2 gold for hatchling and adults, 2-10 gold for clicking and egg.

and I was wondering what elements were, and how you would go about getting one? Are there pros/cons to different elements? I tried searching but "elements" is such a commonly used term I wasn't able to get anywhere.

Any help appreciated! ^^
