Traits

Causes a marking to change color into an alternate color scheme. If no other markings exist on the Ixi, can modify free markings. Dominant Chameleon can modify multiple markings on the Ixi, or cause one marking to have into 3+ color schemes.

• You must supply both the original color scheme, and the altered color scheme. One must be the actual import, and one can be a sta.sh file. This can be linked near the Personality section of the import if you like (see Old Dog in the Examples)
• One of the color schemes must follow the marking's original color rules (examples: Unders must be lighter/darker than base, Ticked must be darker than base).
• One of the color schemes can be any color if the designer so desires.
• Dominant chameleon can modify multiple markings on the Ixi, or cause one marking to change into three or more colors. If you choose the latter, the additional color schemes follow the "any color" rules.
• Flesh/Nails/Frills/etc (and mutations that follow the Flesh, Nails, and Frills rules) can be a color from the alternate color scheme on both versions of the import! They can also change colors between versions (whether or not a marking is being affected)!

Examples:

Old Dog, with Chameleon modifying Groundbreaking


Raiiax, with Chameleon modifying Poison Dart. Note that the tail tuft is eyedropped from the alternate color.

Can present as random speckles of glowing lights, OR modify a single marking to a vibrant, glowing color. Dominant Bioluminescence can modify multiple markings or modify marking(s) and create glowing speckles. Can also cause the skin of the Ixi to glow.

Range:

"Speckled Bioluminescence" spots have the same range of size as Inkblot, but most commonly remain small, more like Fawn or even Snowflake. It may cluster together to create larger areas of glow as well.

• Bioluminescence follows the range and edge texturing rules of the marking it modifies. The only thing that changes is the color and that it can glow.
• Bioluminescence overrides the color of the modified marking. It should always be bright, saturated, or pale colors; dark bioluminescence is fairly unheard of, but it can be desaturated (or even white) if it is pale.
• It should also have a soft-edged glow around the marking, this should not stray too far outside the linework of the Ixi. Skin, fins, and the like may also glow.
• Recessive Bioluminescence (nLum) can create Speckled Bioluminescence OR modify one marking. Dominant Bioluminescence (LumLum) can create Speckled Bioluminescent AND/OR modify any number of markings.

Examples:

Water elemental mutation. Water flows in drapes down the body, starting at any point and cascading down.

Aquatic is Non-Passable, and cannot be obtained via breeding.
The Aquatic mutation can be optionally applied at any time to a Rixixi with Raging Radiation and the Water element!

• Should look like water cascading down the Ixi.
• Can optionally affect skin, frills, etc. Can optionally alter the color of markings/mutations that involve blood/flesh color, such as Daggerstabbed, Wide Vents, and so on.
• Aquatic should not cover more than roughly 50% of the Ixi.
• Hopefully this doesn't need to be said, but please do not make Aquatic look like bodily fluids such as urine or feces, in color and position. No pee elementals allowed on the imports.

As with any elemental mutation, you are allowed to use the associated background with Aquatic:



Use of the background is fully optional!

Range:

Range for blush zones.

Lightning elemental mutation. Can cause bioluminescent lightning-shaped markings across the body, and/or actual lightning arcing off the body.

Electric is Non-Passable, and cannot be obtained via breeding.
The Electric mutation can be optionally applied at any time to a Rixixi with Raging Radiation and the Lightning element!

• Does not have color limits other than being bioluminescent.
• Can optionally affect skin, frills, etc. Can optionally alter the color of markings/mutations that involve blood/flesh color, such as Daggerstabbed, Wide Vents, and so on.
• Electric markings should not cover more than roughly 50% of the Ixi.

As with any elemental mutation, you are allowed to use the associated background with Electric:



Use of the background is fully optional!

Void elemental mutation. Can cause dark auras, assorted darkness effects, and space effects to hover around the Rixixi.

Veiled is Non-Passable, and cannot be obtained via breeding.
The Veiled mutation can be optionally applied at any time to a Rixixi with Raging Radiation and the Void element!



Can cause DARKNESS AND/OR SPACE effects to appear around and on the Rixixi!

• Veiled should be dark in color, but is not otherwise restricted in color. It can have light accents!
• Space effects, if on the Rixixi, should not be easily mistakable for Lunar - an easy way to avoid this is to have them 'drift' off the Rixixi's body as well to make it more clearly an elemental effect.
• Can optionally affect skin, frills, etc. Can optionally alter the color of markings/mutations that involve blood/flesh color, such as Daggerstabbed, Wide Vents, and so on, making them a dark color.
• Effects can cover up to 50% of the Rixixi, as long as they are not heavily obscuring markings.

As with any elemental mutation, you are allowed to use the associated background with Veiled:



Use of the background is fully optional!

Land elemental mutation. Stones, gems, dust, dirt, mud, and so on decorate the Rixixi's pelt.

Grounded is Non-Passable, and cannot be obtained via breeding.
The Grounded mutation can be optionally applied at any time to a Rixixi with Raging Radiation and the Land element!


Grounded is causing the appearance of stones, mud, and crystals on the Rock Collector's shoulder, as well as the crystal in their hair.

• Any form of stone, earth, mud, gems, or similar can be used in the presentation of the elemental mutation. If using gems, please do not make them bioluminescent so as to not make them appear too similarly to Fogshard.
• Can optionally affect skin, frills, etc to change them to earthtones. Can optionally alter the color of markings/mutations that involve blood/flesh color, such as Daggerstabbed, Wide Vents, and so on. Cannot be used to change blood color to that of any gems used, but can affect flesh/nails/frill color as such.
• Grounded should not cover more than roughly 50% of the Ixi.

As with any elemental mutation, you are allowed to use the associated background with Grounded:



Use of the background is fully optional!

Poison elemental mutation. Skin, spines, and frills all turn bright neon colors, and toxic spines or venom sprout from the rixixi's skin, often collecting more around the tail or hands.

Toxic is Non-Passable, and cannot be obtained via breeding.
The Toxic mutation can be optionally applied at any time to a Rixixi with Raging Radiation and the Poison element!

• Toxic should primarily be saturated and/or neon. The mutation creates venom dripping down the Ixi and/or venomous barbs somewhere on their body.
• Unlike other elemental mutations, Toxic must change the color somewhere on skin, frills, etc. Can optionally alter the color of markings/mutations that involve blood/flesh color, such as Daggerstabbed, Wide Vents, and so on. Skin and blood-colored markings/mutations altered by Toxic can be multiple colors, these do not have to correspond to any colors already on the Ixi.
• Spines and venom created by Toxic should not cover more than roughly 50% of the Rixixi.

As with any elemental mutation, you are allowed to use the associated background with Toxic:



Use of the background is fully optional!

Life elemental mutation. Causes a slight lightening of the entire body, as if light is constantly shining on the ixi. Plant life can sometimes be seen wrapped around the ixi or growing from the ixi's paws.

Vital is Non-Passable, and cannot be obtained via breeding.
The Vital mutation can be optionally applied at any time to a Rixixi with Raging Radiation and the Life element!



Can cause a LIGHT effect AND/OR cause PLANT LIFE to appear on the Rixixi!

• Light effect is not color-restricted. Lens flare effect not mandatory but very much allowed.
• Plant life can be any plant, including fictional fantasy plants/generic-looking plants. If choosing a fictional plant, please make certain that it looks feasible as a real plant to some extent: Fancy, glowing flowers are fine! Leaves that inexplicably turn into cow legs are not really workable unless you can find a reference of something like that.
• Fungi are also allowed, but should be accompanied by plant life, not just used in place of it.
• Can optionally affect skin, frills, etc. Can optionally alter the color of markings/mutations that involve blood/flesh color, such as Daggerstabbed, Wide Vents, and so on, making them a pale, light-like color.
• Plant life should not cover more than roughly 50% of the Ixi. Light effect can cover 30-80% of the Rixixi on average, give or take!

As with any elemental mutation, you are allowed to use the associated background with Vital:



Use of the background is fully optional!

Air elemental mutation. Creates a pattern of clouds scattered across the Ixi.

Airborne is Non-Passable, and cannot be obtained via breeding.
The Airborne mutation can be optionally applied at any time to a Rixixi with Raging Radiation and the Air element!

• Should appear as some form of cloud pattern. Airborne is not color-restricted.
• Can optionally create clouds hovering around the Rixixi.
• Can optionally affect skin, frills, etc. Can optionally alter the color of markings/mutations that involve blood/flesh color, such as Daggerstabbed, Wide Vents, and so on.
• Airborne markings and hovering clouds combined should not cover more than roughly 50% of the Ixi.

As with any elemental mutation, you are allowed to use the associated background with Airborne:



Use of the background is fully optional!

Ice elemental mutation. Causes parts of the body to physically freeze over into scaly armor, typically over the back of the Rixixi but sometimes also covering extremities. Presents visually as a translucent scaly sheet of actual ice over the affected parts, retaining some of the original body color due to the fur and skin of the ixi showing through the ice.

Frostbitten is Non-Passable, and cannot be obtained via breeding.
The Frostbitten mutation can be optionally applied at any time to a Rixixi with Raging Radiation and the Ice element!

• Coloration can vary, but should always be pale and translucent.
• Does not have to solely cover the back and/or extremities, these are just the most common.
• Can optionally affect skin, frills, etc. Can optionally alter the color of markings/mutations that involve blood/flesh color, such as Daggerstabbed, Wide Vents, and so on.
• Frostbitten should not cover more than roughly 50% of the Ixi.

As with any elemental mutation, you are allowed to use the associated background with Frostbite:



Use of the background is fully optional!

Fire elemental mutation. Causes bioluminescent markings, usually at extremities such as tail, limbs, snout, spines, ears, and such. Fire and/or magma can be shown on the Rixixi. Markings are almost always a fiery orange-yellow with red-browns where it nears the body, and are warm to the touch.

Magmatic is Non-Passable, and cannot be obtained via breeding.
The Magmatic mutation can be optionally applied at any time to a Rixixi with Raging Radiation and the Fire element!

• Bioluminescent marking can appear on the Rixixi, often (but not required to be) at the extremities. Should be warm colors: oranges, reds, yellows. Can fade into browns at the edge of the marking, but must be bright at the tip/center of each magmatic marking.
• Fire and magma can optionally be shown on or around the Rixixi. Fire and magma is not limited to oranges/reds/yellows but instead to any color fire/magma can actually be, including things like chemical-based fires.
• Can optionally affect skin, frills, etc. Can optionally alter the color of markings/mutations that involve blood/flesh color, such as Daggerstabbed, Wide Vents, and so on.
• Can present with a glow to the magmatic marking(s).
• The markings can have any edge texture/hardness.
• Magmatic markings and fire/magma should not cover more than roughly 50% of the Ixi.

Use of the background is fully optional!

Pretty sure teeth don't go there.

Misplaced Maws is Non-Passable, and cannot be obtained via breeding.
The Misplaced Maws mutation can be optionally applied at any time to a Rixixi with the Fridge Werewolf skill!

• Should match the color of the Rixixi's existing teeth.
• Gums can be any color lighter or darker than the base coat, can be any marking color on the Rixixi, can be any natural skin tone color, or can be any color on the base coat swatch.
• Edits can be freely made to move teeth out of the way of other mutations, but heavy custom work does require a Mutation Station.

Misplaced Maws has its own base:
Misplaced Maws Standard
Misplaced Maws Primal
Misplaced Maws Domestic
