Traits

Creates a coat of red and orange across random patches of your dragon. The edges can be textured or solid. The interior must show some kind of texture. It should not be a pure gradient. You can cover up to 75% of your dragon with the Rusted mark. Here are examples of minimum and maximum range:

You may also have it affect another mark as a Color Modifier. The edge of the affected mark will remain the same shape/opacity/layer as usual, but the interior will have the color and texture of Rusted.

Texture and Shape Rules

It will always have a textured interior, with splotches, drops, and scratches easily visible. The edge of the marking may either be heavily textured or solid, sharp edge. It will never have a soft edge or gradient edge. The shape itself will be solid and random; any spots will be closely associated with the mark, and any holes will be close to the edge. Here is an example of a heavily textured mark:

Here are some examples of what not to do with stand-alone Rusted. The leftmost example has an edge that is too soft. The center example is shaped, rather than a random mark. If you are modifying Blanket with Rusted, then this would be fine for both traits; If you do not have a mark that can be this shape, then Rusted cannot do this. The last example has a clearly shaped tail marking, instead of being random, and has large holes within the marking.

Color Rules

It will always be red or orange tinted, similar to iron rust.

Layering Rules

You may choose whether it appears as a top layer marking or a marking with regular layering.

Effect on Modifiers & Physical Traits

It may affect modifiers, skin, nails, ears, and similar things where it touches. 

Charged Rusted

Charged Rusted may have a soft edge.

Creates large, colored scales that resemble typical fish scales in shape. When referencing odd shapes, the scales should still be roughly symmetrical down their midline. Each scale can be any color. At least one scale must be visible. They will go on top of anything. Each scale may have its own gradient between two of any colors.

Color Rules

Each scale may have one to two colors. If two colors are used, they must have a smooth gradient. All scales may be different colors. This mark does not need to follow elemental color rules and can be any color.

Layering Rules

Chroma is a Variable Pigment Trait. It can go above or below most markings.

Shape

Chroma may be the shape of any type of fish scale. However, unlike fish scales, they should not fully overlap. The shapes will not combine. If you have the dedication, you may cover the entire dragon in Chroma scales, as long as no other marks are hidden, the Chroma scales do not overlap/are clearly individual marks, and it follows regular layering rules. While it can appear on the ends of horns and extremities, at least one scale shape should be fully visible somewhere on the dragon's body.

Chroma will never be so large that its shape is impossible to see.

Chroma will never be a perfect diamond or circle. The scale 'attachment' areas will alter these shapes.

Interactions

Pharaoh - Chroma may be used as the repeating shape.

Checkered - Chroma may be used as the repeating shape.

Stamp - When Chroma is present, Stamp does not need to show.

Koi - Chroma may be the same color as Koi spots. In this case, it may overlap with Koi spots.

Barred - If Barred uses the Snowy Owl-type barring, then Chroma is optional.

Splotched - Splotched is optional on dragons that show Chroma.

Treasure - Treasure is optional on dragons that display Treasure scales.

Charged Chroma

Each scale may have its own gradient between three of any colors.

Creates random patches of black or very dark marking colors on your dragon; It may be very slightly tinted but should appear black on the dragon. It should appear to be the darkest color on your dragon. They should be solid, random patches. It should never have a full gradient edge. You may layer this as you please, or you may use it like a Top Layer Marking. This is inspired by interstellar dust.

Here is the minimum and maximum for Dust coverage:

Color Rules

Dust will always be black. If you are using near-blacks, it should still appear unmistakably black and be the darkest color on the design.

Texture and Shape Rules

It should have a solid or slightly soft edge. The shape itself will be solid and random; any spots will be closely associated with the mark, and any holes will be close to the edge. You can either do a large, mostly solid pattern, or you may create soft patches. These patches may appear cloud-like, as long as they are black.

Here are examples of what NOT to do. The left has large holes as well as shaped tail marks. Dust should appear randomly or organically shaped. The right has an edge with too many holes and an unnaturally shaped neck marking.

Interactions

Sooty - If Dust covers the maximum amount of space (and vice versa), then showing the other mark is optional.

Charged Dust

May have a solid, soft, blended, or textured edge. This texture may be quite heavy, as in the below example!

Creates bright flecks of color concentrated on one marking. It is a brighter color that takes from the marking itself, the element’s normal color rules, or white. If your dragon has no markings, it will display on minimal markings. Below, the white dots are comet on top of a Collared mark.

Color Rules

Although Comet can vary in opacity, it should be a single color. It will not create a shimmering or twinkling effect.

Layering Rules

Comet is part of the marking it affects. It will be the same layer as this mark. If the mark has multiple layers, you may apply comet to any number of them. Here are three examples of comet affecting the same mark.

Shape

Comet will not display outside of its designated marking. They may be small flecks or larger dots. You can see the largest dots below. At minimum, two flecks of comet should be visible on a mark. The speckles should only be random or make natural patterns.

Effect on Modifiers & Physical Traits

It may affect modifiers, skin, nails, ears, and similar things where the mark it's attached to touches.

Interactions

• Fawn Spots - The dots of Comet can create shapes within the mark as if they were Fawn Spots. If this effect is used, then regular Fawn Spots are optional.
• Vibrancy - Vibrancy may add a second color of spots.
  

Charged Comet

Charged Comet may affect up to three markings. It may also be any color.

Tipped may color the end of a dragon’s modifiers or limbs in any color within elemental rules. It should not make barred or striped patterns. There should be no holes in the marking. You may simply color the tips of fingers and limbs, create sock-like markings on your dragon, or do both. The marking will radiate from extremities. On limbs, these socks will never extend past the first ‘elbow’ or ‘knee’ of your dragon. For minimum areas, the very tips of the extremities should be colored (such as the toes).

For wings and other flat areas on the dragon, it’s a bit more complicated! If it has a joint, then the ‘elbow’ joint and beyond can be tipped. For everything else, the general rule is that it may cover half of the trait, starting from the furthest areas of the body. You may combine the two approaches. The red area shows an example of the maximum allowed for this dragon:

You can combine the two, but any transitions must be made within the normal range. At minimum, it must be visible on at least one limb’s extremities. Here are some examples of legal tips:

Texture Rules

It should have a solid edge.

Color Rules

Tipped will always be within elemental color rules unless it is affected by a color modifier or marking like Vibrancy.

Layering Rules

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, as long as it is restricted to their tips.

Charged Tipped

Charged Tipped allows you to cover the whole limb, wing, neck, or similar protrusion. It can fill both the red and purple areas of this example:

Collared forms 1 to 3 rings around the neck that can stretch from the back of the skull all the way down to the shoulders. It doesn’t need to take up all that space. It may be as subtle as a single small half-ring.

Above: Maximum and Minimum (location of minimum can be anywhere on the neck)

Color Rules

Collared follows regular elemental color rules. You may also use black, white, brown, or tan instead of an elemental color. It may present in 1-3 colors. They may color each collar individually or create a gradient throughout the mark.

Layering Rules

Collared follows regular layering rules.

Shape

You may choose to have these collars taper out as they would in birds. The edges may be soft, hard, textured, or a mix of these–as long as their shape is still clearly visible. They can even present as stripes as long as they are in the normal range.

EXAMPLE OF BAD COLLARED:

IT SHOULD NOT EXTEND TO THE SHOULDERS OR THE MAIN SKULL

Effect on Modifiers & Physical Traits

It may affect modifiers, skin, nails, ears, and similar things where it touches. At least part of it must be on the neck.

Interactions

• If Pharaoh,  Runemarks, Aurora, Sparks, Checkered, Fractal, Zebra, or similar marks present as stripes or rings on the neck, then adding Collared is optional.
• Cap - If Cap is present with collared, then Cap may be treated as if it was Charged. Collared must appear within the usual range, but it may use Charged Cap color rules.
• Coils, Halo, Debris, Bumble, and similar physical traits that present as a full ring around the neck of the dragon can be used instead of Collared, as long as they are a different color than the neck.
• Marked - If both Collared and Marked are charged, then Marked can follow the same shape rules as Collared.

Charged Collared

Charged Collared have any number of colors and up to five rings.

 It creates a solid color or a natural mask on your dragon’s face. You do not need to reference a species unless it looks tribal or unnatural.The two examples below show the maximum amount cap can show. It follows normal elemental color rules, plus it can use black, white, brown, tan, and/or gray. At minimum, a single natural-looking mark can show in the range and count as Cap.

Color Rules

It follows normal elemental color rules, plus it can use black, white, brown, tan, and/or gray. If you choose to reference a species for marks, you do not have to match the colors of that species. In example, here is a Blue Jay cap shown in an Earth palette:

Layering Rules

Cap follows regular layering rules.

Shape

A cap that can cover up to the entirety of your dragon’s head and the back of the neck. It may fade out in a gradient. The markings do not need to exist on a living animal, as long as they look natural. It will NOT go below the shoulders and will not appear on the front of the neck.

Effect on Modifiers & Physical Traits

It may affect modifiers, skin, nails, ears, and similar things where it touches. At least part of it must be on the neck.

Interactions

• Collared - If Cap is present with Collared, then Cap may be treated as if it was Charged. Collared must appear within the usual range, but it may use Charged Cap color  and shape rules.
• Frog Throat - If Frog Throat is present with Cap, then Cap can be treated as if it was Charged.

Charged Cap

Charged Cap does not need to follow color rules. It can cover the entire neck (but will not go past the upper shoulders).

Creates natural stripes on the body of the dragon. It will never create tribal patterns. They follow regular color rules, but may also be black and white. The stripes will be about the size of tiger stripes, relative to the dragon, and will not be tightly packed. Alternatively, they may look like the striped pattern of tabby cats. They must be full opacity, although you can erase parts of the marking with a soft brush to create a fade-out effect. You may add a slightly lighter or darker gradient to the mark, as long as it looks like the same color throughout (left has gradient nuance, right is regular).

Tabby-style

Tabby-style striped is large and blobby. It may extend a tiny bit onto the wings, as long as it's clearly part of the main mark. Gradients can be more pronounced on tabby-style stripes as long as the colors are similar. It may fade out across the whole mark, have varied edges where the 'spots' and 'stripes' fade independently, and do any sort of pattern you would expect to see on a real-world tabby cat.

Left: Solid Tabby by Zaxarie | Right: Fading Tabby by Doom

Charged Striped

Charged Striped may have two different stripe colors. It may appear as a gradient, different for each stripe, or a mix of these.

Panda is a marking with various forms. The first resembles a regular panda. The second resembles a red panda. The third resembles a lemur (which can be quite varied with all those lemur species out there). Panda will not hide other marks, even if both layers are displayed. If the lemur is unusual, please include what species it is when submitting your design--it makes it easier for us to reference them!

Color Rules

Panda has up to three layers. The first has the 'bright' area, which can be white or lighter than the dragon's base color. The second is the 'dark' area, which is black are of the species or the darkest color of the species pattern. On the dragon, these may be black or darker than the dragon's base color. The colors do not need to match hues as long as the brightness is correct. If a species only has two colors, then it will only have these layers, and they will fit together like puzzle pieces. For species with 'medium' or any other colors, it may be included as a 'base layer' with a single color. This color may be any color in the elemental color palette or a color that matches the referenced species (such as red for a Red Panda). The base layer must have a brightness in between the light and dark layers.

Layering Rules

Panda will not hide other marks, even if all layers are displayed. The light and dark area may be layered in any order, but any base layer must be on the bottom layer. You may show one, two, or three layers--all of the above and below configurations are valid examples of a Red Panda pattern.

Shape

Refer to the real animals for shapes. Edges may be hard or match the referenced species. In some species, gradients will show up, such as the lemur below. These gradient areas are optional. They can also be converted to hard edges.

Effect on Modifiers & Physical Traits

It may affect modifiers, skin, nails, ears, and similar things where it touches. It can also appear on modifiers that are not touching the marking. It can even create solid areas on these traits (such as making all wing leather, horns, and fins a solid color that matches the dark layer).

Interactions

• Color modifications only affect one layer of Panda, regardless of how many layers you display.

Charged Panda

You may also use any color in the elemental color palette for the dark layer of Charged Panda. The dark layer may ignore brightness rules.

A marking inspired by real-world vitiligo. It creates small white dots that can also gather in one place.

Color Rules

Hailstorm will always be white or off-white. Some spots as well as the halo may be a slightly lower opacity. They may be slightly transparent. You may include a halo of lighter opacity around it, which may have holes and spots of its own. This halo will be close to the main marking.

Layering Rules

Hailstorm is a Pigment trait and goes on top of most markings.

Shape

If it clumps together, it should be textured so that it’s recognizable as a collection of smaller white spots. Although they can clump together, they cannot create patterns.

Effect on Modifiers & Physical Traits

It may affect modifiers, skin, nails, ears, and similar things where it touches. It can also appear on modifiers that are not touching the marking.

Charged Hailstorm

May include large white spots or use entirely large spots.

Adds spots of a single color to your dragon. They may be various sizes (freckle-sized at least), but should clearly be spots. Place as desired. Follows regular marking rules plus you may use black or white. If spotted makes patterns, it will not create a line of swirls. You may create a heavy fleabitten effect with them, as long as all spots are the same color.

Color Rules

Spotted follows regular elemental color rules. A subtle gradient between two very similar colors may be used, as long as spots near each other appear to be the same color. Example of a gradient on the right:

Layering Rules

Spotted follows regular layering rules.

Shape

A spot is one circular, oval, or egg-like shape. It should be rounded. While spots can overlap a bit, they should still clearly look like spot shapes. If Spotted is creating a fleabitten effect, the opacity may vary a bit, and it can overlap heavily.

Interactions

• Showing Spotted on its own is optional if Hailstorm, Fawn Spots, Magma, Rosettes, False Eyes, or Dart Frog are showing.
• If the shape of Tobiano, Runemarks, Koi, Marbled, Panda, Cap, Breeze, or other marks on the dragon create Spotted areas of solid color, then showing Spotted separately is optional.
• Splotched - Splotched is optional if Spotted shows.

Charged Spotted

You may have two different colors of spots.

Orca creates swirls on your dragon and may appear one of two ways. It can modify one marking to make it look swirled. Alternatively, it creates a simple marking that adds a patch of color from the elemental color scheme, or white, to the lower spine of your dragon (always close to the hindlimbs or where hindlimbs would be). It can take on some pretty weird shapes along with some plain ones–look at real orca markings for some ideas! The edge will appear soft, but not fully blended. If a marking is multiple layers, you may choose to affect the whole mark or just some of the layers.

Here are examples of orca affecting blanket and striped:

Charged Orca

Charged Orca may create a swirled marking anywhere on the dragon. Additionally, it can cover up to 1/3rd of the dragon, rather than a small back area.

A simple marking that covers the belly of your dragon in a solid patch of color that is roughly symmetrical. At least 1/3rd of the mark will appear in the dark red area. The light red area shows the approximate maximum.

Shape Rules

It can cover the entirety of your dragon’s limbs, excluding the upper side of wings. It should not extend all the way to the spine of your dragon, the crest of your dragon, or the top of your dragon’s snout. Reference the underbelly of dogs and orcas if you are having difficulty with it! Here are some examples of shaping. First, these two are both examples of roughly minimum coverage, but in different locations:

Next, here is an example of alternate shaping with soft edges, then a more fluid shape:

Texture Rules

The dark red area shows the minimum size, although it may be in slightly different locations.

Color Rules

Underbelly may be any color in the elemental color palette as well as black or white.

Layering Rules

This marking can go above or beneath other markings. It will not cover top layer markings.

Effect on Modifiers & Physical Traits

It may affect modifiers, skin, nails, ears, and similar things where it touches.

Charged Underbelly

Charged Underbelly may display a gradient between two colors. These colors must still follow regular marking rules.

A simple marking that covers the top of your dragon in a solid patch of color that is roughly symmetrical. At least 1/3rd of the mark will appear in the dark red area. The light red area shows the approximate maximum.

Shape Rules

It can cover the entirety of your dragon’s back as well as part of the dragon's limbs. It can also cover the entire top of the wings, but will never appear on the bottom. It should not extend all the way to the belly of your dragon or the bottom of your dragon’s snout. Here are some examples of shaping and range:

Texture Rules

The edge may be hard or soft; It will never be a gradient.

Color Rules

Blanket may be any color in the elemental color palette as well as black or white.

Layering Rules

This marking can go above or beneath other markings. It will not cover top layer markings.

Effect on Modifiers & Physical Traits

It may affect modifiers, skin, nails, ears, and similar things where it touches.

Charged Blanket

Charged Blanket may display a gradient between two colors. These colors must still follow regular marking rules.

Adds leaf-like markings to the edge of some extremities. It should be a gradient of one color that fades as it gets closer to the body with veins erased into it. It can be any color. If the marking is on a zone with thin material (wings, fins, webbing, etc.), then the edges of that material may take on a leafy texture.

Charged Foliage

Charged Foliage may take on a gradient of any number of colors.

Legacy Foliage

Legacy Foliage is referred to as Bib on genos. It creates a patch of color beneath the jaw of your dragon. It can be any solid color or display a gradient of two colors. It may have solid or soft edges. The bottom of bib may fade out as a gradient. It will otherwise have solid edges. Bib may be any color. Additionally, it may have a gradient with any other color. It does not follow elemental color rules. This marking can go above or beneath other markings. It will not cover top layer markings. It may affect modifiers, skin, nails, ears, and similar things where it touches. It does not wrap around the neck unless it is Charged.

A marking that resembles lightning or other fractals. It starts in one central point and then branches out from there. It may be solid, blurry, or a mix–but opacity will be consistent and 100% throughout. You can apply a gradient on the marking. It may glow.

Color Rules

It can be any color, as long as that color is lighter than the base color. It can also display a gradient and/or glow.

Layering Rules

The regular Fractal mark follows regular layer rules. However, if you choose for the mark to glow, it may also be used as a light effect.

Shape

Fractals that resemble lightning can have random branching. Other fractals do not need to be perfect, but they should be recognizable as a repeating pattern. Only one type of fractal can be used in a design.

Effect on Modifiers & Physical Traits

It may affect modifiers, skin, nails, ears, and similar things where it touches.

Interactions

• Vibrancy - Vibrancy adds a second color that may be used as a gradient or a separate fractal color.
  
• Frost - Fractal is optional on a dragon that displays Frost.
  
• If Breeze, Stamp, Runemarks, or other marks create a fractal shape, then showing Fractal separately is optional.

Charged Fractal

Charged Fractal may be darker than the base scale color. In addition, different shapes may be used, and each Fractal may have its own color.

Creates a section of tightly packed stripes that are noticeably darker than what lays beneath them. These stripes should follow the flow of the body (refer to brindled dogs for direction examples). It may be heavily textured in varying opacities, but should be the same color throughout. They otherwise follow regular marking rules. They may cover the entirety of the dragon’s body. It will never appear with a soft edge, even when textured.

If it is on top of any markings, that marking will show through:

Charged Brindle

Charged Brindle may display up to two colors. These colors should follow elemental rules, but they may be darker OR brighter than what lays beneath it.

Fawn spots are a line of spots that are either white or in the elemental color scheme. They must be clearly connected in a line-like pattern.

Color Rules

Fawn Spots can be white or any color within the elemental color scheme.

Layering Rules

You may layer them normally or as a top-layer marking.

Shape

You must have at least one row of spots. You can choose for them to be vertical, horizontal, or spiraled–as long as the line of spots looks like a line.It is okay if they are not perfectly circular--small oval spots work just as well. Some teardrop spots are okay as long as they look like a line of dots.

Effect on Modifiers & Physical Traits

It may affect modifiers, skin, nails, ears, and similar things where it touches. It can also appear on modifiers that are not touching the marking.

Interactions

• Spectrum - Fawn Spots affected by Spectrum do not need to have a gradient within them, as long as the colors appear in order on the mark.
  
• Appaloosa, Tobiano, Roan - Instead of making dots on the dragon, Fawn Spots may create lines of holes within these marks.
• Comet - The dots of Comet can create shapes within the mark as if they were Fawn Spots. If this effect is used, then regular Fawn Spots are optional.
• Spotted - If both Spotted and Fawn Spots are present, then Spotted may create patterns the same way Fawn Spots does.

Charged Fawn Spots

Charged Fawn Spots may be any color, even if it’s outside of the elemental color scheme.

This trait has several effects you can pick and choose from. You must use at least one, but can also use them all.

• Removes Wing Supports (the wings can bend any which way in their design).
• Allows bones to 'surface' above the skin; Ribs can show on top, or the spine can be visible along the dragon.
• Adjusts bone structure and allows the dragon to appear long, even if it doesn't have the Wyrm body type.
• Have chibi-like, fingerless limbs.

This trait will not create wounds, holes, or bleeding anywhere on the dragon. Exposed bones act like shells rather than sensitive areas.

Additionally, you may have the boneless trait not show.
It is implied that your dragon can stretch like example one when you do this, and simply isn't stretching in the import image.

Color Rules

This does not change the colors of the dragon.

Modifier, Claw, Leather, and Crest Rules

This may affect any part of a dragon’s body.

Charged Wither

In addition to making bones flexible, Charged Wither causes the entire body to shrivel. Their body shape can stick to their bones, causing them to look like skeletons with skin. This does not cause the dragon to experience pain, but they will have a giant appetite, given there are no stores of fat. All traits should still show.

Creates tears and holes in the dragon’s wings, ears, webbing, fins, or thin areas of skin. It can create cracks in horns, nails, and similar hard objects. Lastly, it can create scars on the body. These scars follow the natural/small scar rules of Loremarkers. Despite its dramatic appearance, it has a negligible effect on a dragon’s health. Some breeders even seek out the trait, as you can use sturdier saddles on leather-winged dragons without cutting through the leather itself. As such, it has no impact on game mechanics.

Color Rules

Tattered does not affect the colors of a dragon, nor can it be affected by color modifiers.

Modifier, Claw, Leather, and Crest Rules

Tattered can affect any traits that have a flat surface or webbing, any trait that can be cracked, and any trait that can be scratched.

Charged Tattered

For webbing and similar thin areas, Charged Tattered can have its webbing or skin completely removed. It may be obscured with the amount of tattering. It can have up to 90% of affected areas missing. You may also add large scars (they should still look natural).

The dragon’s proportions are incredibly exaggerated and chibi. Limbs and traits may be simplified, as long as their properties (such as claws for Reptilian Limbs) are recognizable. They can still grow gigantic, but they will just always look cute.

Color Rules

Miniature does not affect colors or display traits on the dragon.

Modifier, Claw, Leather, and Crest Rules

This modifier only affects the proportions of other modifiers.

Charged Miniature

Charged Miniature allows even large dragons to participate in activities for small dragons.

Light | Common

This is sometimes referred to as fetlocks or feathering. Creates a long tuft or umbrella of fur on the bottom of every leg. Optionally, instead of fur, it takes on the appearance of material nearby it. For artificial scales, it can use artificial structures. For smooth scales, they can be spiny horns. These special materials only apply if the affected area also uses the structure. In example, for Heraldry to take on artificial material, a dragon must have an artificial part in the area where heraldry would normally form. You may also create tufts of fur on the shoulders and ‘hands’ of a wing. If the dragon has limbs and/or a tail and/or wings, then it must show in some way.

The two left examples show the absolute minimum Heraldry can have on a leg.

The regular tail will still be distinct from the fur when adding Heraldry to the tail.

Range

Above is the maximum range of Heraldry. At minimum, Heraldry will show on the limbs of the dragon. If the dragon has no limbs, then it must show in one of the other locations.

Color Rules

It may be the same as the base color of the dragon, or it may take on any color in the elemental rules. Its color may display as a gradient. Any display traits that would affect points (such as suntouched) will also affect the heraldry of a dragon.

Shape

Heraldry may appear as a tuft of fur coming out of the side of the leg or an umbrella that drapes around the leg. You may mix and match this effect, so long as the design is symmetrical. You can use any natural hair or fur texture, as long as it's a unified texture across the dragon.

Notable Interactions

• The end of Heraldry hair tips may be affected by Accents.
• Surgical Kit may remove this trait in part or in full.
• Scalestain may affect all portions of the trait, even if they are spaced out and outside of the regular Scalestain range.
• Skittertint may affect the entire trait at once.
• Tattered may cause the fur of heraldry to have breaks.
• Transparent Skin will cause the fur to appear transparent as well. However, it will still absorb light, so it will still be visible. It will appear similar to optical wires.
• Heraldry may be drippy or wispy on a Monstrous body.
• If Pollen is located on all limbs, then showing Heraldry is optional.
• If a dragon is Tailless, you may choose to have Heraldry create a long or short tail of just fur.
• Extensions may cause Heraldry to grow incredibly long.
• If Coils is present on the dragon, then Heraldry may be made from wires or cords.

Common Problems

• They will never go all the way up the leg, or past the ‘elbow’ of the leg. This effect may be achieved through Charged Heraldry.
• If the dragon has limbs, then Heraldry must appear on the limbs of the dragon, even if it is shown elsewhere.

Charged Heraldry

Charged Heraldry allows you to create a line of feathering anywhere on the dragon’s legs. It can also create a short horse-like mane on the neck, even if a dragon does not have ungulate snout or the maned trait.

Gives your dragon a beard. Feel free to make it a little goatee or a giant Santa Clause beard. Although it can go down the neck a bit, the roots will never go past the neck. It should not look like Maned or Bumble. It will never wrap around the neck like a lion mane. Optionally, instead of hair or fur, it takes on the appearance of material nearby it. For artificial scales, it can use artificial structures. For smooth scales, they can be spiny horns. These special materials only apply if the affected area also uses the structure. In example, for Bearded to take on artificial material, a dragon must have an artificial part in the area where Bearded would normally form.

Color Rules

It must follow elemental color rules. You may allow display traits to affect it.

Modifier & Physical Trait Interactions

This does not affect the colors of Physical Traits. You may use Modifier traits to change the traits of the beard (in example: bioluminescence making it glow).

Charged Bearded

Charged Bearded allows you to add fluffy eyebrows to your dragon, even if it doesn't have velvet scales! You may also apply just fluffy eyebrows if desired. In addition, the beard can run the full length of the body, rather than attaching at just the chin and neck.
