Wildclaw White-White-Any Basic-Basic-Thylacine

Prismatic Survivalists are an adaptive kind of wildclaw that retain a limited ability to be influenced by ambient magic after hatching. They are pure white upon hatching, but shortly after stripes begin to appear on their wings and back, reflecting the environment that they're currently in. By traveling to different biomes and climates, they can expose themselves to different energies and this, in turn, changes the colours of the stripes. As hatchlings the stripes are very sensitive and often shift colours even while staying in the same place, but as the dragon matures this adaptive effect weakens, so fledglings must be exposed to drastically different climates to get such a dramatic shift. Eventually, after the dragon becomes an adult, their stripes settle into one colour and no longer change. This adaptive effect is more than just aesthetic. While they still remain only one element, and can only wield one kind of magic, they become specially attuned to their chosen environment, being specifically adapted to survive in it. While the stripes serve no special purpose, they are useful in identifying what environment the wildclaw is adapted for. Green range: Forests and jungles (Viridian Labyrinth, Tangled Wood) Dense forests require agility to properly fly through, so these wildclaws have short but broad wings to make sharp turns and avoid knocking into branches. They have long toes suitable for grasping to climb trees, and their tails are semi-prehensile to keep balanced while in the canopy. In addition, their wings have a pair of claws coming from the carpus that can be used to climb, and they alternate between climbing and bursts of flying to cover large distances even in dense growth.

Shining Prisms are a rare morph with odd, refractive feathers. While standing still, they appear the same as any other Prismatic, but in motion their feathers catch the light and seem to shimmer with an inner colour. The cause is unknown, but the main theory is that early exposure to high amounts of elemental energies can get "stuck" in the feathers and create shimmery, colour-changing effect later in life.

Shining Prisms tend to wear even more colourful clothes and flowers than other Prisms, to create a rainbow effect to match their gleaming feathers. Depending on the specific flock, Shining Prisms can be considered more attractive than their peers, or perfectly unremarkable. Typically, populations living in dark or densely forested areas care less about shining feathers, but those from sunlight places find them fascinating.
