ZEBRA

OVERVIEW

• Marking Codes: /cZeb/nZeb/ZebZeb

• Dark zebra stripes that cover a Drakiri's body. Use real zebras for reference. Zebra stripes can not fork, but they can form v's around the midsection and hindquarters.

RANGE AND DETAILS

• Zebra covers the Drakiri's entire body. At least the hindquarters must have Zebra on them. If using just the hindquarters, Zebra may be faded into the base coat along the midsection and down the legs and along the tail.
• Zebra can effect the mane and tail fur where it touches.
• Zebra can't effect the scales unless Marked Scales is present

COLOR TEXTURE AND GRADIENT

• Zebra must be black or near black unless affected by Glimmer, Reversal or Firefly.

• Zebra must be one single consistent color throughout the marking.
• Zebra can not have a gradient unless Gradient is present.

 LAYERING

• Zebra layers on top of most markings aside from Pigeon, Piebald and Stone.
• Dipped, Blanket, and other similar markings must sit underneath Zebra.

PHYSICAL MUTATIONS

• Zebra can form stripes on the entire wing formed by Phoenix. It may fade out on the underside of the wings.

TOXIN

OVERVIEW

• Toxin is a beautiful marking inspired by the exotic, but dangerously toxic, Poison Dart Frog. Shown above are SEVERAL examples of what it can do. It can minimally create blotchy/bandy/spotty markings in black or in colors inspired by real poison dart frogs. Look at dart frogs for inspiration for these colors!
  
  
• The black markings can be surrounded by uneven patching with bright dart frog inspired colors gradiented onto it, or have uneven borders around it in these colors. The black spotting can be densely packed on this, and can even have light soft rings/borders around it on these spots. Shown above are a few examples of the effects of Toxin. Have fun!
• Alternatively, Toxin may be restricted to the scales, giving them the colors of a Poison Dart Frog without needing Bicolor or Tricolor, and giving the poison dart frog spotting all over them.
• Toxin may not appear on the body if it is restricting to the scales unless Marked Scales is used. HOWEVER, the black part can leak onto the scales if using the normal way Toxin works.

RANGE AND DETAILS

• Toxin can effect any part of the Drakiri's body, but does not touch the Mane or Tail fur, nor does it touch the horns or hooves, mouth, or flesh. At least a small patch of Toxin should appear around the shoulders, midsection, or flank area.
