Traits

This creates a maze-like structure on the dragon. Many animals show this mark in the real world! It helps with camouflage in busy environments while looking very snazzy. It can cover the entire dragon or just a portion. It may be any color or display a gradient of two colors. If displaying two colors, only one of them can be outside of elemental color rules. Here are some fish displaying Maze marks:

Shape Rules

Because Maze looks pretty crazy, here is a small tutorial to help with the shape. Start with dots. Then connect the dots in a random way with a line. Add more dots. Complete until there is no space left! Feel free to get squiggly with it. Maze may have some dots mixed in, as long as most are lines. The lines may be tiny (as in most fish) or very large, as long as a maze-like pattern is apparent. You may create a stripey mark on top of things, or erase a stripey shape out of a solid layer. This page has examples of both.

The mark itself is solid, but it can fade out in a gradient. Where it touches flat features or the face, it may become very stripey.

Color Rules

This mark may be any solid color, even outside of elemental color rules. It may also have a gradient. If displaying two colors, only one of them can be outside of elemental color rules.

Layering Rules

Maze is a regular marking. You may layer it above or below all regular markings.

Effect on Modifiers & Physical Traits

• It may affect modifiers, skin, nails, ears, and similar things where it touches.
• When touching flat webbing, leather, or a dragon's face, it may become stripe-like.
• Spotted dragons may have a very small amount of lines compared to spots in their maze mark.

Charged Maze

Charged Maze creates a color beneath the main mark but over the base. You may choose to use the gradient on the main mark or the new layer.

The extra layer of Charged Maze is treated like a base, so other marks will still appear on the dragon even if Maze covers the whole dragon.
