Body traits are recognized differences in the head, ears, mane and tail of the Rhaigon. The different types of Rhaigon have similar body types, although these may look different on each type. There are some body traits that are rare, bred only, custom, or exclusive to that type of Rhaigon.
Currently most examples are placeholders!
penotype orientation:
head type > ear type > main and tail type > any physical mutations
What is a body trait?
A body trait, is divided into ears, tails, manes, and face shapes. Rhaigon can be shown with many different combinations of these traits.
What is a trait set?
A trait set is when a Rhaigon has a matching, or specific body traits, and these sets have bonuses. These bonuses are generally a higher passing rate to offspring.
example : Royl Set = royl mane, royl tail
What is the difference of it all?
Coat types affect ALL body traits.
Body traits are the different attributes to your Rhaigons physical appearance.
Trait sets are specific body traits, matching or not that can give bonuses.
Rhaigon Eye colors are dependant on multiple factors and genes. Rhaigon that have Special eye colors will be stated in the coresponding gene, or assigned at birth/geno.
Eye colors cannot be removed/ changed.
In rare cases, Rhaigon can display various forms of heterochromia, counted as an "anomaly"
common eye colors;
Brown - Ranging from yellow, orange, and brown with various different displays of saturation. should all look natural.
Cool - Ranging from green, teal, and muted blues. should not be too saturated.
Warm - Ranges from dull pinks, reds, and oranges. Warm eye colors can look nearly identical to brown eyes in some cases.
Neutral - Ranges from grey, cream, and offwhite, Generally a lighter less pigmented eye.
Dilute eye colors;
True Blue - Saturated, often light shades of blue. most commonly shown with a select few white markings touching the eye.
True Red - A very saturated red eye. Should not look like brown, or warm eyes, and should be recognizable as red even with hue variation.
Black - The darkest eye colors, allowing for the eye to be functionally all black. Can be noticably light but should not be mistaken for Neutral.
Pastel - The lightest colors apparent on the eye come from pastel, where the entire eye is nicely bathed in pastel color. can be Any color as long as it reads as pastel.
Special eye colors;
Albinism - Pinks, reds, yellows, sometimes blue. A total loss of pigment still has some color!
Leucisim - A Partial loss of pigment, often shows as light browns, pinks, and yellows.
Melanism - Extra pigment darkens the colors, leading to purples, greys, and generally a darker eye.
Toxic - A two toned eye color marked by a yellow, orange, or green sclera and any iris color.
Glow - A single colored eye that goes from dark to light in a glowing look. Does not actually give off light, just appears to be glowing from center out. often very saturated.
Luster - A unique eye color that has multiple color variations, often within the iris and sclera individually. can be any color, saturation, etc. this is the "anything goes" eye color. should not have unnatural shapes, and should be symmetrical to the other eye.
Thoroughbred Rhaigon are the true speed of the species. Able to reach top speeds of 70, to sometimes pushing 100mph.
height 18-20hh
The height range of long bodied Rhaigon is 14hh- 17hh
the "pony" of Rhaigon, Longbody individuals are more specified to fit in smaller spaces than other Rhaigon counterpart. despite being much slower, Longbody Rhaigon generally make up with unending curiosity.
21-27hh (7-9ft at shoulder)
19-24hh (ft at shoulder)
Masters of the sky, the Aerial Rhaigon boasts large wings and a unique aerodynamic frame.
visual descriptions;
they have a dense, yet short silky smooth fur covering the majority of their body, leaving larger spaces of skin visible under the fine layer. they possess the same fat reserve at the base/back of the neck, which can tend to be more dramatic with the rest of their stature. the body is aerodynamic enough and flowing.
the face is slightly sharklike, with a larger mouth for taking in air in flight. typical examples most commonly are earless, or have smaller ear sizes than standard counterparts.
large, powerful webbed wings dawn on their backs, they have full expressive motion of them. below is a look at how the wings attach to the back. claws and extra fingers are not noticeable in the wing structure.
tails present stiffer than typical rhaigon, with denser musculature to help steer in the air. legs are theropod like, sporting the same toe distribution as standard counterparts, although a little larger. the legs themselves are more suited for extreme acrobatics, and quick liftoffs rather than just climbing and running.
while they are built for aerodynamics, due to just how powerfull their flight is, one with dense fur, large ears, cumbersome tail is not at any noticable flight disadvantage.
extremely susceptible to carrying and passing the following; harpy, seraphim, plumage, dragonborne
