Zoologic overrides the dergon's entire design, instead letting them mimic the patterning of any animal (including fish, insects/invertebrates, corals, and extinct animals whose coloring is known, like Sinosauropteryx). The design does not have to be an exact replica, but color and pattern inspiration should be clearly visible! You can include a link to an example of your chosen animal when submitting a zoologic design for approval, and it may optionally be linked in your import description.

You may still include your dergon's original genotype in the choice of inspiration, for example, such as choosing to mimic a tiger when your geno is Ginger with Stripes. You can also use Zoologic to influence an otherwise normal design, for example taking a Forest with Eyespot geno and adding a shining neck marking and Eyespots with more colors than usual by choosing a peacock as your inspiration. 

Zoologic may affect your entire dergon. If you choose to include your original geno, Zoologic must affect at least 50% of your design. 

When present with a color mutation, Zoologic may do one of three things:

• Completely override the color mutation

• Allow the color mutation to affect the design, influencing the patterns you're taking inspiration from

• Take inspiration from an animal which shows the color mutation

The third option includes, as an example, things like black panthers for Melanism or Lavender corn snakes.

When present with another mutation such as Chimera, Zoologic may either override the chimeric design or take inspiration from a chimeric animal, such as a those that display bilateral gynandromorphism. 

Strange Covering may be influenced by Zoologic, creating feathers, fins, or even fur that mimic the chosen inspiration. Mild can affect up to 20% of the dergon, Moderate up to 60% and Severe up to 100%.
