Base Coat Colours
- monochrome
- strong
- softmix
- hardmix
Different species on Xiunus have different colour palletes and different names for those colours.
For instance, a Tsabhua's "silver" is a Belemoid's "granite".
Markings should generally be based on the palette of the base coat, except for in the case of the monochrome bases (black, silver, and white in each species's own terms), where some fall under the "monochromatic exception," meaning they can use other bases. Read individual marking guides to see more information.

Common Tark'ee
[ TRANSMISSION INTERRUPTED ]
Design Rules
Like most other playable species, tark'ee have their own colour patterns that are unique to their breed. They also have unique markings: panda and eyelet.
When applicable via a mutation such as tail tuft or mohawk, these must be darker than the base coat.
Subspecies
Aquatic Tark'ee
Aquatic Tark'ee, also known as Wave Tark'ee, are the smallest of the Tark'ee and are well adapted to their environment of the ocean, with webbed feet and thick blubber to protect from cold waters. Their fur is extremely short and appears smooth, very similar to Earth Sol's "seals". Their beaks have a very thin covering of this fur, though the colour of the beak can poke through regardless. They are very often of blue or green colouration, though they will not spurn any other colours, especially vibrant ones. Despite appearing smooth, their beaks are serrated within and point inwards, all the better to catch and eat prey - mostly fish. They have the longest tail-to-body ratio of the Tark'ee and the shortest leg-to-body ratio, usually keeping close to the ground and only picking themselves up when they need to move on land in swaying, crocodilian movements. These creatures can remain underwater for hours without needing to resurface for air and therefore often live in the oceans. They also have gills naturally to take in low amounts of oxygen while underwater, extending their underwater time.
Some aquatic tark'ee are lithe like Terran otters, while others have very bulky forms, like the origin species.
Draconic Tark'ee
Draconic Tark'ee, also known as Serpentine Tark'ee or even Abominations, were originally the results of freakish combinations of other subspecies of Tark'ee, though now they are a subspecies in their own right. They are serpentine creatures that grow as they age, getting longer and thicker as the years past. They are effectively immortal through aging, shedding multiple times a year to keep up with their growth. To the unaware, they may appear to be very large snakes, but once you see the beak, you know them apart from other serpentine species. Many of the other species despise or fear the Draconics.
