For Cranwelli, basically all of the morphs except for Albino are line bred. These include the Albino variations (Strawberry, Strawberry Pineapple, Apricot, Pikachu, etc) and the normal wild type variations (Coffee, Green, Camo, 4 Spot, etc). The Fantasy “morph” you mentioned are a hybrid between a Cranwell’s Horned Frog and an Amazonian Horned Frog. The “Mutant” Cranwelli are weird, which can display all kinds of colors like Phantom, Black Eye, Translucent, etc. Unfortunately the Mutants aren’t a morph that can/are being produced consistently, in the sense that you can’t consistently create Phantoms by breeding Phantom x Phantom or Translucent Pacmans by breeding Translucent x Translucent. The going theory is that the Mutant gene is the product of genetic tampering from an Asian frog company trying to create a solid blue Pacman, which explains why the gene acts unlike any other gene we have seen in the reptile/amphibian trade to date.
