Dilutes

Roan is a mixture of white hairs on the body of the Rhaigon, typically originating from the hindquarters of the Rhaigon.

 can appear just like how it does in horses. 

white should be relative to the hue of the base color/coat, can be off white with minor hue variations. 

can display under, or over markings (typically over).

white does NOT affect mane, does not affect eyes, and does not effect skin. 

Special Combo! Roan + snowflake appaloosa 

combos are optional, the Rhaigon can present with roan and snowflake, and not varnish, etc. if you are unsure about this, ask in the design questions channel on discord. 

Varnish roan

Varnish roan is an irregular, ticked pattern that often has "windows" to the coat underneath.

 can appear just like how it does in horses. 

white should be relative to the hue of the base color/coat, can be off white with minor hue variations. 

can only display over markings.

white slightly affects mane, does not affect eyes, and does not effect skin. 

Glass is a modifier that introduces a silken, glossy sheen to the Rhaigon coat. 

dominant expressions;  the glass can take on a two-toned effect and have slight variations in hue.

Mushroom is  a coat dilution inspired by the dilute present in shetland ponies with the same name! its best to look at reference photos of them for ideas, although it does present differently in Rhaigon.

Mushroom dilute can present in a couple of ways, adding to its uniqueness. generally, it will affect ALL coat aspects, adding a soft brown hue to everything. (example 1)

On more natural toned, or red, brown, and black base coats. the dilute can take over and present more similarly to how it is seen in reference images of Shetland ponies. (example 2)

In dominant, or extreme cases, Mushroom coat can have a greying effect, adding unique large dappling with a brown color. (should be noticeably larger than typical grey dappling, view horses for reference) 

Mushroom dilute always lightens the mane/hair of the Rhaigon, or in dominant cases, entirely flaxens it.

Rhaigon with mushroom coat can have dilute/ restricted eye colors.

MR - more likely to present like example 2, with flaxen mane. can have the brown greying effect as well.

Mr - typical expression. 

mr - carrier. if there is expression, it is barely noticeable to an untrained eye. can still have dilute eye colors.

example 1 - brown coat with gretta and kott. 

Exclusive to the black base, there are many displays of this gene, and it can be passed residually to offspring with a non black base. 

Often referred to as the stormbringer gene.

This gene has shown promise that with extensive research, it may morph into other greater things.

PrPr, gives a blue shine to the dark coat. 

pRpR - gives a stormy blue and black dappled look without the shine.

PRPR - gives a more intense saturated shine and dapple. 

PRPR is dangerous or LETHAL when bred with another PRPR

PRPR cannot be imported

PRpr - The coat shows at least one other color, that catches with the light like a puddle of oil. The traditional shine and dappling is optional, but can be included. the most important part is the colored shine blues, purples, pinks, and greens. PRpr is the rarest form of pearo, 

Oilslick is only available through breeding.

Albinism in short, is a total loss of pigment in the coat of the Rhaigon. This can present as a bright white, or white with some faint colors remaining from the coat underneath. The skin, eyes, mane, etc. also loose pigment and become a soft pink hue.

Albinism affects the fur pattern of the dragon. The fur is sparse, fair, and much thinner and softer than normal, more of the characteristic pink skin will be visible through the fur. Notably, the fur is not affected irregularly, places where fur is more sparse originally seem to be "larger" (underside, chest, upper neck, tail base, nose, eyes, etc.)

In adverse effects, albino Rhaigon are more susceptible to sunburn, and visual impairment. (It is optional and up to the player if they would like to add visual impairment to their Rhaigon at this time)

Leucism is a partial loss of pigment in Rhaigon. Notably, the patterning beneath the coat is normally still visible, with the overall hue matching more so to the colors that would originally be present on the dragon, with a slight warm hue. Skin is relatively unaffected, although some lightening is anticipated. Eyes are not affected.

Leucism affects the fur pattern of the dragon. The fur is sparse,  and mildly thinner than normal, more of the skin will be visible through the fur, especially if darker in color. Notably, the fur is not affected irregularly, places where fur is more sparse originally seem to be "larger" (underside, chest, upper neck, tail base, nose, eyes, etc.)

Adversely, leucitic Rhaigon with fair skin may be more susceptible to sunburns. 

Melanism is an increase in dark pigments in Rhaigon. This mostly presents as a deep saturation and darkening of the coat, often intensifying and muddying patterning on the coat of the dragon. often time, deep browns will emerge from the coat. Skin will darken, and eyes will remain the same. 

Melanism affects the coat of the Rhaigon, with a thicker, more wiry feel. In extreme cases, it can affect the hair pattern as well, from mild crimps, to tight curls. 

Melanism has mild adverse effects, individuals that have denser furs and darker colors might not faire as well in hot climates, similar to a standard black, longhaired Rhaigon might!
