Traits

The Rixixi's pelt is extremely, unnaturally saturated. In some cases, this can even affect markings.

Neon does not have specific swatches, instead, it should take the original base coat and increase the saturation and value until it becomes a hypersaturated neon color.

This can cause some fairly unexpected colors:

Forest, top swatch

Midnight, top swatch

Markings can appear as normal (with markings lighter or darker than base appearing lighter or darker than the altered swatch):

Skyburn with Labyrinth and Pangare

Or as bright, neon shades themselves - if this method is chosen, neon markings should be colors analagous to the altered base on the color wheel.

Skyburn with Labyrinth and Pangare - Orange Neon Markings

Additionally:

• Neon does not have to affect skin tone.
• Neon has no effect on eye color.

Presentation with Contradicting Mutations:

Neon and Fog:

-Neon presents less saturated than average:

Lilac base.

-Fog presents brighter than average:

Lilac base.

-Both Neon and Fog appear, in cloudy patches:

Lilac base.

The edges of this must be soft and blended so as to not be confused for Tortoiseshell, Chimera, or other similar markings/mutations.

Examples:

Almel is an example of Albinism and Melanism, but this is still a good example of the cloudy blending method in shape.

Neon and Erythrism:

Neon and Erythrism presenting together cancel out Neon's requirements to be fullbody and allow it to affect markings along with Erythrism.

When Neon and Erythrism are both present in a geno, any of the following approaches can be taken:

-One mutation presents visibly, and one is a genetic carrier only. (At least one mutation has to present visibly in this case.)

-Neon magenta becomes legal for Erythrism:

Arctic with Pangare, Neon Erythrism affecting Pangare

Extra spines and frills gathering on assorted parts of the Rixixi's body. Sometimes appear without the frill.

• 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.
• Markings in the area can extend to this mutation.

Drakespines can present with or without the frills included in the mutation, it does not require a scarification kit to remove them!

An alternate design pack exists for this mutation:
Primal Blood Design Pack

A weapon on the end of the Ixi's tail.

• Spines and webbing, if present, 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.
• Markings in the area can extend to this mutation.

Multiple Tail Mutations:

When multiple tail mutations present in the same geno without Multi Tail, any of the following approaches can be taken:

-The tails can be edited so that they all appear at once. As long as the tails appear at roughly their original size and shape, no Mutation Station is required. Lenience is given for size/shape here, as tails may need to be shrunk to better show the other tails, etc.

-Parts of the tails can be taken and pieced together into one tail - eg. Mackerel's fins on a Whip Tail, a Tail Spike on a Bushy Tail, etc. A mutation station is only required here for heavy customization.

-One tail can show, leaving other tails in the geno as invisible carriers. All tails in the geno can still pass in breeding, but they do not have to show in the design if there's just too many tails to work with.

A frill around the neck, capable of flaring out at will.

• 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.
• Markings in the area can extend to this mutation.

This mutation had stricter color rules in the past - as a result, any users who have a Rixixi with Frill (+Frll) uploaded before December 24th 2019 may update their design for free at Import Updates  (a Restyling Laser is not required)

Hard horns grow from this ixi's head.

• 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.
• Markings in the area can extend to this mutation.

A hard shell protects the Rixixi's back.

• Markings in the area can extend to this mutation.
• The shell itself can take on the color of any base coat.
• The rim of the shell 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.

Webbed and bat-like in nature, but small, these wings are not capable of true flight.

• Wings are considered an extra appendage and markings in-range can spread to them. Markings that cover points can treat wings as if they were another limb.

Wings with webbing have specific rules:

• The webbing itself is considered a skin zone, and 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.
• The opacity of the webbing can be freely altered as long as it is still clearly visible.
• Markings can still spread to the webbing, but need to be present on the body somewhere - they cannot only appear on the skin unless the marking specifically says otherwise (eg. Flourish).

 
Light blue: Markings must appear somewhere here.
Medium blue: Markings can appear somewhere here, as long as they also appear in the light blue zone.

Alternate design packs exist for this mutation:
Alternate Vestigial Wings Design Pack
Domestic Horns and V.Wings Expansion Pack

The Ixi's natural vents are constantly open and do not contract to the point of being closed and giving the illusion of being invisible.

• Can be any legal flesh or skin color for the Rixixi!
• Markings can appear on this mutation as long as they could also appear on skin.
• Can show the Rixixi's blood color on part or all of the mutation if desired - by default, Rixixi blood is red, but it can be modified by certain markings and mutations.

Primal Blood Design Pack

Fish tail, complete with alternate frill!

• The fins of Mackerel can take on the color of any base coat or any marking found on the Rixixi.
• Markings in the area can extend to this mutation.

Commonly found in rixixi who migrated to Nskanetis and got up to all sorts of trouble with mad science. A hard, translucent beak now protects the ixi's snout from harm, with 6 nostril-like slits to breathe through.

• 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.
• Markings in the area can extend to this mutation.
• The opacity of this mutation can be freely altered as long as the mutation is still clearly visible - this applies to the design pack beaks as well as the default Aexent-style beak.

Alternate design packs exist for this mutation:
Beak and Horn Expansion Pack

Not only does the ixi have enlongated canines, they have eight enlongated canines instead of four.

• Should match the color of the Rixixi's existing teeth.

Parts of the Ixi are covered in crystallized protrusions and horns, can cause the skin and eyes to glow.

• Can be any color. Is typically bright, but does not have to be.
• The mutation itself is bioluminescent, and can optionally cause the skin and eyes to glow.
• The opacity of this mutation can be freely altered as long as the mutation is still clearly visible.

A guide on custom Fogshard (mainly shapes and glow) exists:
Short Fogshard Tutorial (with bees)

When closed, it just looks like an odd fish mouth, but this jaw can stretch open wide to wild proportions.

• Whether the Open or Closed variant is used is a design choice - it does not depend on genetics or change how the Rixixi can appear in art. In fact, optionally, both an Open and Closed variant can be designed, with one being the import image and one linked in the description.
• The Open Fringehead Variant is considered skin and therefore 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. Teeth should match the color of the Rixixi's existing teeth.
• The Closed Fringehead Variant is considered an extension/modification of the area around it - markings in the area can extend to this mutation.

Alternate design packs exist for this mutation:
Tuxedo Catfish Fringehead Design Pack

What a wonderful whorl of teeth you have! Looks bizarre and rather intimidating.

• 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.

An aquatic adaption, this mutation causes the rixixi to have gills along their neck, with frills. Can take on the color of any base coat.

• Can take on the color of any base coat or any marking found on the Rixixi.
• The opacity of this mutation can be freely altered as long as the mutation is still clearly visible.

Many wings. The most common presentation is an ethereal, swirly trail of feathered wings, but if the Rixixi has another Wing gene, that gene can present as having multiples of that type. (see Mutation Design Guides for more information)

• Wings are considered an extra appendage and markings in-range can spread to them. Markings that cover points can treat wings as if they were another limb.
• If Archangel is present with another wing type, you can have multiple pairs of the non-Archangel wing type. You can also combine the default Archangel wing with other wing types. The additional wings can be edited in size without use of a mutation station so long as the general shape remains unedited.

The Rixixi's body is long and slender - somewhat serpent- or drake- like.

• Due to their longer shape, Dragon Body Types can be 2 feet/61cm taller than other Rixixi of their type, regardless of subspecies. (For Primals, this does apply to their length.)
• Dragon Body Type is a lineart edit. Markings appear as they usually would beneath the new lines, and marking ranges can stretch to accommodate the new lineart.
• As Dragon Body Type is a fairly major lineart edit, many mutations will not work correctly on it. It is completely legal to edit these to fit correctly without a Mutation Station, but fully customizing them may require a Mutation Station.

Dragon Body Type's bases  can be found here:
Standard
Primal
Domestic

Feathered wings sprout from the Rixixi's arm.

• Markings in the area can extend to this mutation.

Three mouths, one head. Where do the other mouths lead?

• 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.
