Super is a slang term used to describe an animal with a Homozygous (same) pair of 'genes' for a particular trait. This means that they recieved the gene that corresponds to the trait from both their mother and their father. A super hypo would have two hypo genes, one from its mother and one from its father. In turn, it would only be able to pass on a hypo gene to all its offspring as opposed to a non super hypo which could possibly pass on a normal rather then a hypo gene. A super ghost is the same concept with the addition of the anery gene. Because the anery trait is recessive the super ghost actually has two sets of homozygous mutant genes, the hypo pair and the anery pair.
