Melanistic / Partial melanism / Black
Melanism is a development of the dark-colored pigment melanin in the skin or its appendages. The fur may be pitch black or have brown hues. Another name for is 'black.' Example species include the gray wolf, silver variant of the red fox, black dogs, and possibly seal dogs. Partial melanism is a melanistic variant that doesn't cover the entire body. Another name for is 'black & tan.' Example species include the cross variant of the red fox, coyote on the right, and domestic dogs.
Gray wolves got melanism from ancient dogs while coyotes got it from wolves and dogs. |
 |
Erythristic / Sable / Red
Erythrism refers to a reddish pigmentation of fur, hair, skin, feathers or eggshells. It's what makes red foxes, for example, red.
|
Sable includes the varieties known as 'shaded sable' and 'clear sable.'
|
White / Recessive red
White dogs are recessive red, except samoyeds and white shepherds, which can either be recessive red or recessive black.
There's also amelanism, a pigmentation characterized by the lack of melanin (black) pigments. This isn't leucism or albinism. |
Rust is a fictional gene that suits its name, expanding on the white fur as the years pass, often in scattered red and gray patterns.
|
Mutations
Hyperblack is a fictional mutation inspired by the Ayam Cemani chicken. The individual is born seemingly normal and gradually grows darker, even on the inside. This also darkens the kyno's biolight color. So far, only eyes seem to be unaffected.
|
Leucism is a condition in which there's a partial loss of pigmentation resulting in white, pale, reddish, or patchy coloration of the fur, skin, hair, feathers, and scales, but not the eyes. White lions are a prime example.
|
Albinism is a condition characterized by the absence of pigment in the eyes, fur, skin, hair, scales, feathers or cuticle. This results in an all white individual, usually with pink or red eyes.
|
 Piebald is a pattern of pigmented spots on an unpigmented white background of fur, hair, feathers or scales. The skin underneath their coat may or may not be pigmented under the spots but the skin in the white background isn't pigmented.
|
 Abundism, also called pseudo-melanism, is another variant of pigmentation characterized by dark spots or enlarged stripes, which cover a large part of the body, making it appear melanistic.
|
Chimerism is an organism produced by the merger of two or more embryos. It's a spontaneous mutation.
