Chimera (+Chi) (Uncommon)

Species: Rixixi

Also known as Harlequin

The rixixi displays two genomes at once, can be in random patches or split down the middle in a harlequin "checkerboard" pattern.

FRIED MEME is a Diver/Plum chimera. She also has Lunar (in neon green) and Horizon (in dark green) - she's very colorful.

Chimera Rixixi have two sets of genes displayed in patches across their body. Chimera can have a defined pattern (see real-world Harlequin animals) or random blotches of color with or without a pattern.

Additionally:

  • Chimera doesn't have a specific required amount of each geno that you have to present. If most of the genes on each geno are visible, you're probably fine! 30% or more of the less visible side is also a fair test. As long as both sides of the genotype are reasonably visible, it should look enough like Chimera.
  • You can cover up a gene on one side by putting a spot of the other side on top of it (eg, hide Daggerstabbed by putting a splotch over the chest).
  • If you have a chimera with two sides of the same base coat (eg Brimstone/Brimstone chimera), you do have to differentiate the two sides' base coats enough that they can be told apart on sight.

COMBINATION MUTATIONS & CHIMERA

If your Ixi has a combination mutation and Chimera, they can display the component parts of that Combination Mutation without needing a Mutation Station.

Corona, having Chimera as well as Partial Translucence, visually displays Fogshard.

How Breeding with Chimeras Works:

Chimeras roll in breedings as if their two genos combined into one. If they have two of the same gene, it won't combine into a dominant gene, but if they have two of the same gene (and one happens to be dominant), the dominant gene is used.

For example, here's a theoretical chimera:

Aa/Bb/dd/oo/nPr/nTab/nGlt/nLu/PanPan/nPng/nHz // aa/BB/dd/Oo/nSpc/nTab/LuLu/nClk

Lunar Plum with Procyonid, Tabby, Glitter, Panda, Pangare, and Horizon // Lunar Spectacled Seaglass with Tabby and Cloak

When breeding, it rolls as if this is its genotype:

Aa/BB/dd/Oo/nPr/nTab/nGlt/LuLu/PanPan/nPng/nHz/nSpc/nClk

Lunar Spectacled Diver with Procyonid, Tabby, Glitter, Panda, Pangare, Horizon, and Cloak
