Oryx Unders

Black Unders Series

Black Unders genes all attach to the same area, creating a series. Creatures can only have two genes in a series at most, one inherited from each parent.

So they could, for example, be MaD (or) MaMa (but not) MaMa/D. They could also be nn for the series, and have no markings here.

Black Unders Series genes are codominant, meaning having more than one different type will show the effects of both.
However, having duplicates, like two copies of Ma, will not create two different types of Mask.

If Plains Unders is present, tends to align itself with the edges of this marking, creating borders around it.
Skin is not affected. Eyes are not affected.

Compare to: Gemsbok, Arabian Oryx
NOTE: The following examples also display Plains Unders, creating white on the face. Oryx Unders by itself would cause an entirely black face.
