Traits

Light | Rare

Zebra is a white marking that covers between 25%-100% of your dragon, where stripes are ‘erased’ to allow the base to show through. The mark may have an erased stripe along the top that goes along the spine and top of tail. It may also have the snout area erased as a solid shape or gradient. You may add a slightly transparent border around the marking–the border will always be darker than the main marking. When in doubt, reference a real zebra! This marking may be any color from the light element color palette. Additionally, it may display a gradient between two of these colors.

Range

This mark may be one solid area or it may present in up to three patches. Any patches should cover at least 25% of the dragon.

Texture Rules

It should have a solid edge. You may have the marking as a whole fade into the scales.

Here are a few more examples of what you can do!

Color Rules

Zebra will always be from the light color scheme unless it is affected by color modifiers or charged. It may be affected by color modifiers. If you give Zebra a border, it will be darker than zebra and lighter than the base color. If this border is tinted, it will be brown, orange, yellow, or a similar color to the marking. The border will always be darker than the marking itself. The main marking of zebra will be at full opacity, but you can fade out the edges as a gradient. These gradients will not create holes in a patch, and there will be a clear chunk that is still at full opacity. In these examples, the base is dark gray, and the Zebra marking is the white stripes.
