OVERVIEW

• Jagged striping resembling bolts of lightning, but also a marking modifier that effects the shape of markings. It can create zigzag shapes at the edges of markings, and can create a white zagging streak in the mane. It may have a soft gradient beneath the marking creating a faux glow effect.
• Jagged fur like markings, tracing the contour of the fur. They can be as simple as little zigzags following the fur direction, to faded into the base coat on the inside, giving the effect of a wolf's ruff. It can also modify the edges of markings to give them a furred texture, or add a subtle fur texture to the entire Drakiri
  
  

RANGE AND DETAILS

• Zag is restricted to the neck up on manes, usually presenting near the head in a streak of white, often jagged. It can effect any part of the Drakiri.

MIN RANGE

• At least one zagged stripe should appear somewhere on your Drakiri, or at least a small bolt along the side. 

MAX RANGE

• Zag can appear anywhere on the Drakiri aside from the limbs and tail, though it can only make streaks on the neck and above for the mane.

OTHER RANGE INFO

• Zag can only effect the scales if Marked Scales are present.
  
  
  

COLOR TEXTURE AND GRADIENT

• Zag must lighter than what sits beneath it unless Reversal is present. The gradient beneath must be the same color as the marking itself, and must not obscure the marking.
• Gradient can change the color of the faux glow beneath the striping

 LAYERING

• Zag can layer above or below any markings aside from Satin, Stone and Piebald.

PHYSICAL MUTATIONS

• Zag can create zags on the wings of Phoenix.

BARRING

OVERVIEW

RANGE AND DETAILS

• Barring only effects the mane and tail fur. If phoenix is present, it can appear on the flight feathers.

MIN RANGE

If the band follows where the mane attaches to the body, there should be a second band somewhere to make it clearly barring instead of minimal mane tips.

MAX RANGE

• Banding effecting every bit of mane/tail for on the Drakiri

COLOR, TEXTURE AND GRADIENT

• Can be lighter or darker than the base coat

 LAYERING AND GAPS/HOLES

• Layers over or under other mane markings

Known Interactions

When interacting with Mane Tips, Barring can create a band along the base where the mane attachs to the body while Tips effects the tips of the mane. If interactiong, the markings should be the same color to count as an interaction.
