A full coat marking that may also effect the mane (but, if so, must still fall within mane traits- ombre, mane spot, streak, etc), does not change physical traits.

A restricted (non-breedable) trait that allows your elkh to take on the markings of a real-world mammal or bird if they are not already available as traits/combination traits. Standard color rules apply.

If submitting a MYO with the mimic trait please include the name of the animal you are mimicing in the comment section of the submisson process.

A secondary marking.
A marking divided into three clean sections of color, typically with a light, medium, and dark shade with the light shade always being in the middle.

A secondary marking.
Striped markings on the legs and flanks, reminiscent of real-world okapis (but please see the masterlist for examples of how the trait looks).

*Note: If layered with other traits the base color may be a different primary marking such as fade, sunset or reverse.

This is a secondary trait.

Piebald is a real life phenomenon you can read about here. If you use the piebald marking, no other markings may overlap it because it is a lack of pigment (rather than just white spots). Piebald should appear natural and not in straight geometric shapes/lines or other perfect shapes.
See examples in the masterlist if making a MYO design. Must be white or off-white.
