Sailfish and Marlin
Sailfish and Marlin are primary and secondary genes that apply a pattern of gradiated color and spots across the body and wings of your dragons. This gene pair is now available for Modern, Aberration, Aether, Auraboa, Cirrus, Everlux, Gaoler, Undertide, and Veilspun dragons, and has a chance to drop in the Coliseum.

Note that the Ancient Gene Parchments that previously droped for this gene have been automatically converted to the Modern primary and secondary scrolls, which are the trade requirement for converting these genes to their Ancient counterparts at Glass and Gloss' Genuine Genes.
