The colored backgrounds depict the rarity of the represented color or marking example, which coincides with the written genetics that may be found here: [HPR] Genetics Guide .

Information for mutations (which can be seen at the bottom of this image) may be found here: [HPR] Mutations Guide . We recommend going through all of the journals to find out more about Hestia Prime Reserve!

The given colors are merely visual examples of what different coat colors and marking patterns may look like. There can, of course, be other shades, and spots/stripes can of course be in other places and sizes as long as they're recognizably within the same color and marking range.

Kaiyaro Dog colors are exhibited as dilutes of Arthgard Hounds, and their coats may only come in diluted colors. This means no dark black or red KDs; charcoal and dark chocolate may exist in rare instances, and more commonly, grey and chocolate are the darkest they get. Kaiyaro Dog eyes only come in pastel/pale variations of Arthgard Hound eye colors, as well, and do not glow.

Kaiyaro Dog noses may exhibit the common rule of dilutes, where black dilutes have blue noses and red dilutes have pink noses. However, it is also just as common for them to have black noses. After all, these guys are alien! They play by their own rules most of the time. HPR staff just does the best they can identifying recognizable traits!

Kaiyaro Dog agouti modifier loci behave in the same method as Arthgard Hound agouti modifier loci. See AH Color+Markings+Mutation Visuals for more information on those.

The merle/mask modifier locus determines the presence of a mask or merle, if applicable. Masks are similar to a Siamese pattern on cats, where it affects most of the face, all of the ears, tail, front legs, and 3/4 to all of the back legs. Merle is pretty self explanatory and can vary in the size of the splotches. It will usually appear as 2 or 3 distinct darker shades of color on the lighter base coat. Double merle is considered a reverse-extension of merle. It is very much possible for a Kaiyaro Dog to possess double merle even if neither of its parents possessed merle, and double merle in KDs does not yet seem to cause health conditions, nor does it cause complications if bred to a merle or double merle! It acts like any regular modifier.

The white pattern modifier locus determines the density of white on a Kaiyaro Dog. You can see the more accurate percentages of how much of the coat is covered on the genetics journal (linked at the top).

The tabby and leopard modifier loci determine the presence and type of tabby or leopard markings. The genetic extension determines if the markings show fully, are faded, or only appear over white markings but under the base color, and the type is randomly determined between leopard, cheetah, and brindling. The color of these patterns is usually a few shades darker than the base coat.

As of now, there are no known mutations for Kaiyaro Dogs, as these are a subspecies of Arthgard Hounds.
