TOPIC | [subspecies] Desertwalkers
deserts and desert aesthetic is one of my faves so i checked to see if there was another subspecies like this one and there kind of isn't! maybe? sort of? idk. anyway i thought to invest in my own, and i'm just tossing it here so i don't forget stuff. so here's Desertwalkers! ----- [b][size=5]ABOUT[/size][/b] ----- there are deserts on every continent on earth, so it stands to reason there are deserts in every region of sornieth. it's true a jungle is the exact opposite of a desert, but the Saharah is right next to the lush land besides the Nile! so even Nature flight can be home to a desert or two. therefore, [b]this is an Every Flight subspecies[/b] ----- [b][size=5]GENES[/size][/b] ----- the genes necessary are actually fairly wide and forgiving, chosen based on 3 factors: appearance to a physical desert, appearance to something that you can find in a desert, and appearance to a creature that lives in a desert. the choices also encompass not just deserts but arid and semi-arid biomes like savannahs, steppes, and rocky outlays. therefore, this subspecies has a fair degree of variety! the necessary genes are: [columns][b]PRIMARY[/b][color=transparent]xxxxx[/color] speckle savannah bar leopard falcon giraffe jupiter boulder laced metallic (rare) python ripple vipera tapir wasp[nextcol][b]SECONDARY[/b][color=transparent]xxx[/color] bee current daub edged freckle marbled peregrine morph safari eel saturn shimmer fissure stripes striation[nextcol][b]TERTIARY[/b][color=transparent]xxx[/color] scales crackle firefly gembond ghost polkadot glimmer okapi flecks opal runes spines firefly thylacine veined[/columns] ----- [b][size=5]COLOURS[/size][/b] ----- the colour range focuses primarily on LIGHT earthy tones. in some deserts, darker tones [i]are[/i] a common occurrence, such as in cactus deserts. but because of the confusion and the possibility of having [b]too much[/b] variety, they've been excluded. the necessary colours are (in range order): SAND to LATTE [list] sand, tan, beige, stone, taupe, slate, driftwood, latte, sable, umber, soil[/list] [center][morphology=1016533] [morphology=1016541] [morphology=1017814][/center] ----- [b][size=5]VARIANTS[/size][/b] ----- as with a multitude of arid and semi-arid areas, you [i]will[/i] find uniquely changed Desertwalkers making their homes elsewhere. the following list is most common to least common: shifting sands desertwalker (aka sandwalker): yellows introduced outcropping desertwalker: gembond, crystal/facet, more browns, crackle tert cactus/shrub desertwalker: green sec, petal sec?, blossom tert with greens on gaoler oasis desertwalker: blue sec, piebald sec (no savannah) tundra desertwalker: ice colour introduced, remove some non-snowy looking genes (the animals), crackle tert [center][morphology=1017826] [morphology=1017832] [morphology=1017836][/center] ----- [b][size=5]LORE[/size][/b] ----- lore is 100% up to you, so long as it follows one rule: [i]they come from the desert![/i] ----- [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/auction-house/buy/realm/dragons?d_bodygene=4%2C18%2C6%2C16%2C12%2C14%2C26%2C17%2C23%2C5%2C21%2C20&d_winggene=20%2C6%2C7%2C26%2C4%2C57%2C11%2C18%2C15%2C1%2C2%2C21&d_tertgene=15%2C6%2C22%2C4%2C20%2C10%2C9%2C17%2C14%2C8%2C11%2C38&d_body_range=50-143&d_wings_range=50-143&d_tert_range=50-143&collapse=1]link for AH specifications[/url] adjust to your liking!
deserts and desert aesthetic is one of my faves so i checked to see if there was another subspecies like this one and there kind of isn't! maybe? sort of? idk. anyway i thought to invest in my own, and i'm just tossing it here so i don't forget stuff. so here's Desertwalkers!

ABOUT
there are deserts on every continent on earth, so it stands to reason there are deserts in every region of sornieth. it's true a jungle is the exact opposite of a desert, but the Saharah is right next to the lush land besides the Nile! so even Nature flight can be home to a desert or two. therefore, this is an Every Flight subspecies

GENES
the genes necessary are actually fairly wide and forgiving, chosen based on 3 factors: appearance to a physical desert, appearance to something that you can find in a desert, and appearance to a creature that lives in a desert. the choices also encompass not just deserts but arid and semi-arid biomes like savannahs, steppes, and rocky outlays. therefore, this subspecies has a fair degree of variety! the necessary genes are:

speckle
savannah

leopard
falcon
giraffe

vipera
tapir

SECONDARYxxx

COLOURS
the colour range focuses primarily on LIGHT earthy tones. in some deserts, darker tones are a common occurrence, such as in cactus deserts. but because of the confusion and the possibility of having too much variety, they've been excluded. the necessary colours are (in range order):
SAND to LATTE
    sand, tan, beige, stone, taupe, slate, driftwood, latte, sable, umber, soil
desertwalker1
#1016533
desertwalker2

desertwalker3

VARIANTS
as with a multitude of arid and semi-arid areas, you will find uniquely changed Desertwalkers making their homes elsewhere. the following list is most common to least common:

shifting sands desertwalker (aka sandwalker): yellows introduced
outcropping desertwalker: gembond, crystal/facet, more browns, crackle tert
cactus/shrub desertwalker: green sec, petal sec?, blossom tert with greens on gaoler
oasis desertwalker: blue sec, piebald sec (no savannah)
tundra desertwalker: ice colour introduced, remove some non-snowy looking genes (the animals), crackle tert
desertoasis1
#1017826
desertoasis2

LORE
lore is 100% up to you, so long as it follows one rule: they come from the desert!

@ktjn Hi! I recently took over the main subspecies hub and I am working on getting it updated, I found your thread in the forums and went ahead and added you in the any flight category :)
