Re: Melanism?

Post by Ktanaqui »

I think Melanism is actually a pretty neat idea - I mean, why not? It'd be nice to have another colouring for the Direwolves too.

I put up the following for Melanism:

- Direwolf
- Koi
- Kraken
- Ariessa
- Roc
- Tenera Dog
- Donec Fish

You can breed two direwolves and they have a chance of making an albino egg/baby. The same with nandi bears, breed them and they have a chance of an albino baby/egg (more pure white color vrs the normal nandi color which seems more slightly beige tinted).

There are some creatures that this exists with but its up to the site if they want to add more creatures with this capability. I wouldn't be opposed to the idea thou.

You have it backwards :p They have Albino forms. (No pigment) We have no creatures with melanism. (Which pretty much turns them black).

I merged the melanism thread with this one, as it is a creature suggestion and thus belongs here. Feel free discussing the idea further.

Eee hyenas are on the list <3

Anyhow, I think there should be a sort mix between a saber-toothed cat, a tiger, and a hyena. Called, like, a Saber-Toothed Tiygan.

The black Cervinus deer is actually melanistic. Glass wanted a normal version and an albino version. I then asked if I could make a melanistic version (and piebald) because it hadn't been done yet.

I really like oddities in nature and am all for creature variants myself.

Melanism, for those who don't know, is the polar opposite of albinism. Rather than producing no color pigment, a creature produces tons of it, turning themselves a very dark shade of their natural color, if not completely black.

If melanism already exists, I'd like to suggest it for the following creatures:

- Koi (albino koi would be cool, too!)
- Quetzalcoatls
- Dragon Turtles (again, albinos too!)

Anyone with me on this? :3
I would also suggest for both albino-ism and melanistic traits Ibex and Chupacabra since they don't have their own breeding thing where there are different versions of them, and as far as I know the Chupacabra doesn't really breed with anything else.

For just melanistic traits I would also suggest the Roc since that doesn't breed with anything else either and there is only the on version of it. And changing the coloring on already existing sprites shouldn't be that hard hopefully.

Getting a bit tired of the seals in the water shop. How about the next creature be an otter, sea turtle, sea snake, or puffer fish?
