# Photonauts and Lady Photonauts Photonauts and Lady Photonauts are unique character NFT assets in Pictographs that can be bred to produce Camera Boxes, which contain the NFT cameras required for gameplay (as described in the Cameras section). These characters add a layer of strategy and progression, allowing players to acquire new cameras through breeding. **Breeding Mechanics** \ Breeding a Photonaut with a Lady Photonaut requires a Screwdriver (as described in the Screwdrivers section) and a fee in $PICTO tokens. Each character can breed up to 100 times, with the cost increasing after each breed. Breeding produces a Camera Box, which contains an NFT camera of varying rarity. **Camera Box Rarity** \ The rarity of the Camera Box—and thus the camera inside—depends on the rarity of the bred Photonaut and Lady Photonaut, as well as the number of breeds each has already undergone. \ Higher-rarity parents increase the likelihood of obtaining a higher-rarity Camera Box. Additionally, as the number of breeds increases, the probability of receiving a higher-rarity box or even two boxes improves **Acquisition** \ Photonauts and Lady Photonauts can be purchased on NFT marketplaces, allowing players to acquire characters of different rarities to optimize their breeding outcomes and expand their camera collection. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
