Traits

 

Presentation with Contradicting Mutations:

Maltese and Erythrism:

A very high production of pigment, the Rixixi's coat and markings are heavily darkened.

Melanism does not have specific swatches, instead, it should be a darker version of your Rixixi's given base coat. Melanism should not be subtle, but the original base coat should still be apparent, and it should not be a false version of another base.
  
Seaglass - Brimstone - Arctic - Lilac

Markings can present as normal or be desaturated and darkened to match the mutation - designer's choice!

Woods with Points and Accents - Dull/Bright Markings

Melanistic Midnight can be tricky to work with, as using #000000 black isn't allowed - here's an example of about how dark you can go.

I mean, you can go to the full displayed legal black on the tongue and eye if you really want as well, Anar was just feeling dramatic.

This expression of Melanism is only legal on the Midnight base!


Additionally:

• Melanism bases must not be more saturated than their original bases!

Presentation with Contradicting Mutations:

Albinism and Melanism:

Albinism and Melanism presenting together cancel out Albinism's skin/eye/marking color requirements.

When Albinism and Melanism 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.)

 

-Albinism presents darker/subtler than average:

Sunbeam base.

-Melanism presents lighter/subtler than average:

Sunbeam base.

-Both Albinism and Melanism appear, in cloudy patches:

Sunbeam 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:

 

Examples:

 
Luminol shows examples of glowing markings changing shape, and glowing bones in E. Porphyria (though xir bone glow is subtle due to its dark color). Xhe also has chameleon versions for both regular and UV versions linked on xir import.

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 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.

Alternate design packs exist for this mutation:
Beak and Horn Expansion Pack
Starters' Starter Pack
Primal Blood Design Pack
Domestic Horns and V.Wings Expansion Pack

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.

Alternate design packs exist 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.

Presentation with Contradicting Mutations:

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.

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

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)

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.

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.

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.

Delicate bug wings sprout from the Ixi's back!

• Insect wings' base color must be one of the following:
  • • • • • • • Off-white or white
              • A tint of the Ixi's blood color
              • The base coat
• Markings appear on them like any other wing - they 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.
• The opacity of this mutation can be freely altered as long as the mutation is still clearly visible.
• You can customize the wings into the shape of pretty much any bug's. For insects with elytra, you need the Shield Wings mutation.
• If the Rixixi also has Sylvan, the Insect Wings can take on Sylvan's patterns.

Combining Wing Types

If you have multiple wing types on a geno, you're allowed to have a pair of both of them display without having Archangel present.

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.
