Alebrije (Legendary)
A marking inspired by the patterns and colors of the Mexican Alebrije.
Alebrije, inspired by the traditional Mexican Alebrije, with a lot of really cool colorful effects and patterns, but can alternative take some Lisa Frank inspiration as well This would either modify markings the Drakiri already has, or cover up their markings and like some of the other Legendaries, completely overwrite their coat color and marking color rules.

Ticked (Common)
OVERVIEW
- Ticked is a mane specific marking that creates ticking and flecking in the mane and tail fur. Shown above are several examples of what Ticked can do. It can appear as fairly long, so long as it doesn't stretch from the body to the tip of the mane. Ticking can be lighter or darker than the mane beneath it, or a mix of light and dark. It can not too closely resemble Barring or Mane Tips, but it can interact with other mane markings for some really neat effects. How you make it interact is up to you!
RANGE AND DETAILS
- Ticked can only appear in the mane and tail fur. It can not appear on the body or anywhere else.
MIN RANGE
- Just a few tickmarks somewhere in the mane and tail fur
MAX RANGE
- Ticking all over the mane and tail fur.
Flecks (Common)
OVERVIEW
- Flecked is a common marking found on the scales of a Drakiri. Flecked creates various uneven fleck like markings, similar to dalmation jasper or other stones. The example above shows several of the shapes Flecks can take.
RANGE AND DETAILS
- Flecks can appear on any scales on the body, and can also effect the hooves and horn/s. Flecked does not effect the body. On Drakiri with the Smooth mutation, Flecks can either appear on the horns and hooves, or not be visible on the import.
MIN RANGE
- Just a few little flecks somewhere on the scales, or on the hooves and/or horn/s.
MAX RANGE
- Every scale completely covered in the tricolored little markings
Color and Texture
- Flecks can be three shades of the scale color, with bits of white and bits of black in as well. Flecks should be a color relative to the scale color, or various shades of white, grey and black. When on the horns and hooves, Flecks can not reflect the color of the scales without Glimmer. It should then take natural colors, or the very dsaturated scale color if that is used on the horns. Flecks can be textured, and they can bunch together, but they should not be as big as the spots found in Stained or Bleached.
Possible Interactions
- When interacting with Stained or Bleached, it can create much larger splotches in with the flecks, and have flecking form a blend between the dark parts of the scales and the lighter parts. Interacting with Stained or Bleached adds a fourth shade of color to Flecks, interacting with both adds a fifth.
- When interacting with Iridescent scales, Flecks can take on a sparkly shine or metallic look, like bits of crystal or metal in stone.
Some Image inspiration
Tinsel (Specialty)
Acts similar to stroke, allowing streaks of shiny gold or silver to appear in the mane, without needing glimmer or gradient. Tinsel can’t be affected by Glimmer, and must appear in gold, silver and shiny, or red, green or white with a shimmer effect restricted to it. This can be in gold or silver, a lighter color than the part below, or white.
Geno Code: Tns
Festive (Specialty)
Makes a marking green or red (Or red and green for two-toned markings), and can have various holiday themed patterns in white on the affected markings as well as make the edges lacey and festive looking, resembling gift wrap. It can also be shiny or shimmery/sparkly. It can also create shiny ribbon inspired markings on the Drakiri in red, green, or red and green, with white festive themed edging or even patterns.
Geno Code: Fsv
Pride Flag (Specialty)
A marking in celebration of Pride Month.
Pride Flag has a few optional effects! Pride flag is a marking that appears in the colors of a Pride Flag of your choice! (Only legit pride flags apply, ones based on hatred or meant to bring down the LGBTQ+ community will not be permitted.
When using this marking, provide an example of the pride flag you used.
1 - A Pride Flag of your choice appears somewhere on the Drakiri, on the hip, or the shoulder, or somewhere on the scales for example. This can be any pride flag, including the rainbow one.
2 - The mane can take on the colors found in a Pride Flag of your choice. The colors should appear in the order they appear on the flag, and shouldn't form a strong gradient from one to the other. This can not follow the colors of the rainbow flags unless Spectrum is present.
3 - The colors of the Drakiri can follow a Pride Flag, effecting the markings and the base coat. This can not follow the colors of the rainbow flags unless Chroma is present.
4 - The scales can take on the colors of a Pride Flag. They should appear in the order they appear on the flag, and shouldn't form a strong gradient from one to the other. This can not follow the colors of the rainbow flags unless Spectrum is present. This can extend onto the scales and/or horns.
5 - The markings on the Drakiri can follow the colors of a pride flag. This should appear in the order that the colors appear on the given pride flag. Rainbow flags can not be used unless Spectrum is present.

Robin (Uncommon)
Guides Coming Soon
Robin is a marking that allows a splash of red or natural color on the chest of the Drakiri, effecting the mane and scales where it touches, like the red breast of a robin. Alternatively, it can take on an effect as if the chest is bloodstained.
Some other effects (As described by Corrosive_Limes)
vaguely similar to fox in that it creates a red, orange, or generally reddish hue on a part of the drakiri, but instead of the midsection it must minimally cover the chest and part of the underbelly, and at maximum it can cover the entire face, the throat, part of the neck, the entire underbelly (cannot extend onto the tail or hind-legs), and the inside, possibly entirety, of the forelimbs. can present as yellow or brown on drakiri with color mods that turn their coats green, blue, or purple (for reference: eastern bluebird, eurasian blue tit). can also create a faint faded/airbrushed marking of the same color around the drakiri's shoulders - however it must be faint and must not resemble saddle
Flare (Common)
This marking is lighter than the base, and can be semisoft edged, or hard edged, or a combination. It effects the forelimbs, but can also effect other markings. It either creates markings that resemble stylized flames on the limbs, face and back, or modifies markings to have edges inspired by stylized flames in shape.
This must be fairly simple; it must not be able to be confused with Comet.
Tailed (Rare)
Acts a bit like Dipped, but with a different range and a few special rules. Allows the tail of the Drakiri to be brightly colored, with a gradient or "banding" with a fur texture between two complementary colors (Such as Blue and Green, or Red and Yellow or Red and Orange OR two natural colors. This can cover other markings aside from Piebald, Smoke and Roan.
Bicolor can add a third color onto this or make the colors a lot different (Like Purple and Orange instead of Purple and Blue)
Tricolor adds a fourth color and Spectrum creates a rainbow.
Think a bit like how many sparkle dogs are naturally colored, but with a brightly colored tail.
This can, optionally, effect the fur of the tail as well as the main tail, but isn't required to, and, like Dipped, it can effect just the fur of the tail as well.
Bismuth (Rare)
A marking creating crystalline shapes inspired by Bismuth in shape, with up to three colors appearing on a silvery base color; blues, yellows and pinks/reds. The color effect should be subtle. It most often appears around the shoulders and back. It can appear anywhere on the coat, and can have a metallic shine without needing Gilded. Gilded, however, can brighten the colors considerably! It can fade into the base coat.

- As an alternate effect, Banding may form vertical pinstriping along the Drakiri's body
MIN RANGE
- Banding has a Min range of the midsection, face, neck, or legs. Banding does not have to affect the mane, but it can extend onto the mane where it touches.
MAX RANGE
- Full Body coverage, excluding the scales. It can effect the scales where it touches if Marked Scales is present.
SMALLER RIM BANDS
- The outer borders of banding are optional, but if they are shown they must be along the outsides of the bands, and must be significantly thinner than the main light band. They may optionally be on every band on the Drakiri, or only some or even just one of the bands, so long as they're not confused for another marking.
OTHER RANGE INFO
- Banding can affect the Mane and Tail Fur where it touches
- Banding cannot affect the scales unless marked is present in the geno
- Banding is not required to appear on the legs
- Banding is allowed to affect the following mutations
