Merle is a recessive, uncommon marking that creates a pale, and heavily desaturated blanket over the dracovix's body, then large and small "holes" are cut out of the blanket, revealing the markings and base coat beneath.

The difference between Merle and Roan is that Merle must be heavily desaturated, like Axanthic, and visibly paler than the base coat while Roan only has to be a little bit paler than the base coat at minimum, and Merle allows for very large holes, while the holes in Roan are very small. Merle may also be placed all around the whole body and broken up into a few pieces, while Roan is restricted to starting at the back and spreading outwards.

Merle must be at least an area as big as the dracovix's head or as big as the entire body.

Merle may have a faint brindling/speckling effect to it.
