Merle (Mrl)

Merle

Merle creates a rough, patchy marking with two layers of color. The two layers do not have to sit on top of each other; they can overlap outside of ranges, and even swap the colors’ layering on different parts of the dergon. Merle is specifically known to cause a dergon’s eyes to change to light blue where the marking passes over them, though this effect is optional.
