 To be updated as needed.

 

 

NOTE:

Please refer to Beastkeeper's FAQ (click link)

for important questions for any unanswered information.


   

General Skin Information:

Beast Keeper's Skin Library

Note: Notice the columns and rows

divided into "A"s and "B"s with a number following after the letter.

The skin library library is easily broken down into this:

Chestnut Gryphon (A5) + Cat Gryphon(B5) = Tiger

Yellow Puma(A4) + Graying Modifier Puma(B5) = Pastel Siamese

Green/Blue Roc(A5) + Diluted Roc(B4) = Skyblue Roc

 

So let's say I wanted to make a Okapi Unicorn,

1) I'd open up the Skin Library and look under the Unicorn Color Chart, unless I'm there already.

2) I'd look for the Okapi Unicorn picture

Okapi falls under row A2 (Bay) and column B4 (Zebra)

Bay Unicorn + Zebra Unicorn = Okapi Unicorn

 

Lets say I needed to know what colors any pet could possibly have out of 4 possible colors.

One helpful way is by looking at the Pedigree of the mother and father.

The second is by looking at the pet color!

This Lilac Puma has 2 colors that can be easily identified by looking at the color chart is falls under.

A5 (Brown) and B4(Diluted)

The third way is by researching genes!


How about mixing the colors between 2 parents together?

Green genes are the dominant, and Gray are the recessive colors.

pet can only have 2 dominants and 2 recessives 4 color choices

2 of which are colors for example: RedBlue

2 of which are patterns for example: SpottedStriped

Picture example:

Firefly

 
Orange
Blue
  Diluted
Normal


So, The breakdown

1 pet + 1 pet = 2 pets

4 color choices + 4 color choices = 8 color choices

= 2 Pets with a total of 8 color choices!

That can be a total of 8 colors for children!


How do colors work?

Dilema:

PET 1

RedBlue

SpottedStriped

+

PET 2

GreenSilver

DilutedPiebald

= CHILDREN:

Red Spotted, Red Diluted, Green Spotted, Green Diluted.

Problem: You will not get Blue, Striped, Silver, or Piebald.

 

HOW TO: Bring out the pets Recessive Colors.

THE FIX:

Example Pet 1:

RedBlue

SpottedStriped

BREED WITH:

Either one with a different ___insert color here___ and Blue Recessiveor one that has both Blue Dominant and Blue Recessive.


Solution: (May take a try or 2)

RedBlue +  YellowBlue= ChildBlueBlue

OR:

RedBlue +  BlueBlue= ChildBlueBlue

Conclusion: The same should work with patterns like spots, stripes, and the like.


OTHER:

Say your pet has RedBlue and you really want the color Brown for example, and there is no pet within your resources that have Brown. Check the breeding offers first.

If there is only a pet with colors that look like this:

Yellow, Brown

Solution:

RedBlue +  Yellow, Brown =

1. RedBlue

2.  Yellow, Blue

3. RedBrown

4. Yellow, Brown

Now, we can breed that brown recessive!

 

Beast Keeper's Custom Skins

Important Note:

Offspring / children will only look like the ones found in the Skin Library, Custom Skins have no effect on offspring / children, only your chosen pet.

Nice work! I especially like the part about skins and breeding out recessive traits. :D

What happens if you breed buckskin and white unicorns to each other?

pizzabear:

that depend on the recessive genes of those two unis. If they were homozygous, as in that both the dominat and recessive genes were either white (white uni) or both buckskin (buckskin uni), then the baby would be a white uni with one dominant white gene and one recessive buckskin gene. In the colour chart the lowest numbers are always the most dominant, so a low number (e.g. white as A1) will always show with the higher number (buckskin with A5) being recessive.

If the unis aren't homozygous, meaning that each uni has two different genes for their colour, then it gets a lot more complicated and there are many more possibilities for the colour and genes of the baby. The easiest way to find out whether the genes are homozygous is by researching them.
