When it comes to breeding special variants of animals (golden chinchompas, magical zygomites, royal dragons, etc.) are you guaranteed a special variant as offspring when you breed one special male and one special female?

For instance, if I breed one royal male dragon and one royal female dragon, am I guaranteed to get a royal dragon egg as a result?

No. Shiny animals are exactly the same as normal animals in terms of breeding success. The exception to that is royal dragons. If you try to breed a pair of royal dragons, they will not give birth to any offspring. However, a royal dragon can breed with any other colour dragon just fine.

They are exactly the same as a normal animal for breeding purposes. Their only advantage is that they give 10% more XP at each growth stage, and acts as a wild card for the preferred breed when selling for beans. Also, shiny Zygos and shiny Chickens are more valuable since you can obtain achievements from them if you re-roll to the required trait and name.

Who knows though, Jagex may add more achievements in a later update, making other shiny breeds have value over their usual Adolescent value, or for those that want shiny animals for fashionscape. They may also make shiny animals more useful for breeding, time will tell.
