Touch of Corruption
Category: Mutation Traits
When Touched by the Corruption, Your buck will take on a new appearance
"Children born with TOC passed on will find it hard to refuse the influence of a Sentinel and will often find themselves doing anything they ask of them, even murder-this curse causes such trauma and turmoil for the child that is affected."
R = Recessive
D= Dominant
R is a recessive gene that is usually the cause of 1 parent having the genetic marker for TOC R, but it can happen even if both parents are R or if one has D and R
D is a dominant gene that usually occurs when both parents carry the D dominant gene or when 1 parent carries the D and R gene
TOC will always be solid pitch black with vibrant purple outlined
Albinism
Category: Mutation Traits
Albinism is a genetic mutation that causes complete pigment loss. 'Bucks affected by albinism may suffer hearing or vision loss.
R= Recessive
D= Dominant
Base Design before Mutation
R albinism is when one or more parents carry the R copy. The R gene in albinism causes color point albinism, also known as "Siamese".
D gene in albinism is when the parents either have one or more copies of the D gene. The D gene is a dominant gene that causes full-body pigment loss resulting in white dilution of the body.
Canary
Category: Mutation Traits
Canary is a mutation that affects the color hue of a 'Buck.
R= Recessive
D= Dominant
Base design before the mutation
R is caused when one or more parents carry the R gene. R canary only affects one color off a 'Bucks color palette.
D gene can occur when one or more parents carry the D gene. D canary causes the whole color palette on a 'Buck to be in yellow hues.
Cardinal
Category: Mutation Traits
Cardinal is a mutation that affects the hue of a 'Bucks color palette, resulting in a red hue
R= Recessive
D= Dominant
Base design before mutation
R is when a parent has one or more copies of the R gene. R cardinal only affects one color on the 'Bucks color palette, changing it to a red hue.
D gene is from breeding parents that either have one or more copies of the D gene. D cardinal gene affects the whole color palette on a 'Buck, turning its colors into a red hue
Dilute
Category: Mutation Traits
Dilution is a genetic mutation that dilutes the pigment of a 'Bucks color palette
R= Recessive
D=Dominant
Base design without the mutation
R can be bred if one or more parents carry the R gene. R dilutes, also known as Dun, only dilutes the body.
D can be bred when one or more parents carry the D gene. D dilute affects the whole color palette, causing a dilution.
Jay
Category: Mutation Traits
Jay is a mutation that affects the color hue of a 'Buck, changing the colors to a blue hue
R= Recessive
D= Dominant
Base design before the mutation
R is passed on when one or more parents have the R gene. R affects one color of the 'buck's color palette, changing it to a shade of blue.
D is when one or more parents have the D gene. D jay gene causes the whole color palette on a 'buck to be in a blue hue
Melanism
Category: Mutation Traits
Melanism is a genetic mutation that affects the pigment cells in a 'Buck, causing a darker color palette
R= Recessive
D= Dominant
Base design before mutation
R is when one or more parents have the R gene. R is responsible for hyperpigmentation of the skin/color palette of a 'Buck
D is when one or more parents have the D gene. D causes the color palette to receive darker-near black pigment throughout the buck
Merle
Category: Mutation Traits
Merle is a genetic mutation that affects black/dark pigmentation, eating away at it and diluting the color.
R=Recessive
D=Dominant
Base design before mutation
Phantom R Merle. A phantom merle is when there is no black/dark pigment for the merle gene to eat away at.
R is when one or more parents have the R gene. R merle is also known as Harlequin Merle, it's a gene that has excessive white that eats through the design, breaking up the merle.
Phantom D merle is when no black or dark pigment is on the palette for the merle gene to eat at.
D is when one or more parents have the D gene. D merle only affects black or dark pigment, causing it to dilute. D merle does not have white cutting through it like Harlequin.
Piebald
Category: Mutation Traits
Piebald is when excessive white eats away at the color of a 'Buck, leaving patches of missing color
R= Recessive
D= Dominant
Base design before mutation
R is when one or more parents have the R gene. R piebald should have small patches of white on the body
D is when one or more parents have the D gene. D Piebald has excessive whiting that covers most of the 'Bucks design.
Sub Zero
Category: Mutation Traits
sUB zERO
Sub Zero is a genetic mutation that has been studied and is said to be an ancient gene that once spread across Arctic Buckleos.
Sub Zero causes ice shards to form anywhere on the body.
R = Recessive
D= Dominant
The R of Sub Zero has a max of 3 locations on the body that can be covered in ice shards. Ice shards should have jagged edges.
D in Sub Zero allows up to 75% of the body to be covered in ice shards. Ice shards should have jagged edges.
Elf Shoes
Category: Mutation Traits
Elf Shoes
Elf Shoes grants a buck to be born with the rare dwarfism gene. These Bucks resemble the dog breed humans call "Corgi".
Elf Shoes causes the limbs of a buck to be stunted short
Elf shoes affect the buck it's applied to and have a chance to affect its offspring.
Elf Shoes only affects the buck's Feral form. (you can however choose to have it also affect the humanoid)
R= Recessive
D= Dominant
The dwarfism gene will not pass onto a buck that receives recessive copies or one recessive and one dominant. For dwarfism to pass onto an offspring, the pup will need two copies of the dominant gene.
Because of this unique trait, to successfully obtain a buck with dwarfism gene through breeding, you must breed two bucks that carrier either RD or DD.
R + R = No dwarfism
R + D = No dwarfism, but is a carrier
D + D = Dwarfism
Frozen Heart
Category: Mutation Traits
Frozen heart
R= Recessive
D = Dominant
Frozen Heart happens when a child is born in winter under a full moon. It's rumored that this phenomenon started a long time ago when Alphas were the dominant race. They say an expecting parent died while trying to seek shelter from the blizzard, but didn't make it. The parent and child were both dead, however, an entity approached the scene and breathed life back into the child, forever changing its appearance. Now when a child is born with these same gene mutations, many believe it's the entity saving that child's life as it would have been born dead. But no one knows that.
It's not known why this happens to children, but they end up becoming sensitive to hotter weather and, in severe cases, becoming ill and possibly dying of heat stroke.
Frozen heart causes the fur to appear white with ice-blue tinting on the joints/bony surfaces and skin. (Genos should still have their chosen colors from the parent's palettes on the ref for color count as Frozen heart does not count for color count)
Frozen heart affects the eyes, hooves, claws, nose, inner ears, tongue, gums, and any other flesh parts, causing them to be a shade of blue.
Frozen Heart gives the buck a snowflake-shaped pupil.
Horns become icicle horns, on a genos they will be the same shape as the parents but should still look like an icicle (water dripping is allowed).
Frozen Heart causes an icicle spike wall on the chest protecting its artificial spirit heart.
Frozen Heart is a Mutation Trait gene, meaning it can only be obtained through breeding. Unlike other mutation traits, Frozen Heart requires 2 copies of the Dominant gene to successfully pass.
R + R = No Frozen Heart gene
R + D = No Frozen Heart gene, but the buck is a carrier
D + D = Frozen Heart gene
