Personally, I think Scales is like Okapi. It's a cool idea, and I want to use it, but rarely do I actually see a use of it that I like. For Scales, it's mainly the weird facial markings. For Okapi, it just seems too bold on a lot of breeds; more like someone took a marker to the dragon, than fading nicely into the body. The colors usually have to be really close to look right.

Edit: You've made me realize that I don't think any of the dragons I plan to keep have Scales. Not even the 'maybe keep around for a bit' fodder.

Help I'm trapped in a signature!
Scales is such a situational gene, even more than other situational genes like Ringlets, Okapi, and Contour. I have seen a few that manage to pull it off, but even then, it's only a few.

I love it personally, but I don't use it often because usually something else works better (and is easier to obtain) [img]https://www1.flightrising.com/dgen/dressing-room/scry?sdid=11624&skin=15878&apparel=28813,753,28814,28815,28816,28818,28819,28817&xt=dressing.png[/img] Cornflower/Latte/Sky [img]https://www1.flightrising.com/dgen/dressing-room/scry?sdid=11864&skin=6720&apparel=31429,24515,32035,23019,32044,18811,18827,30588,18803,18779,18795&xt=dressing.png[/img] Tomato/Abyss/Radioactive Having almost nothing but Gen1s doesn't help with having a hard time finding dragons that work it haha

I love Scales when paired with Wasp, and I have a few breeding and G1 projects with those genes.

I think my main issue with Scales is that many genes/colors add a pretty fading effect to the feet and Scales covers it up

I personally just don't like what Scales does to the face of dragons so I just don't have any.

I’m not a huge fan tbh. However I’m going to need it for whenever my WC’s give me what I need, ironically. It’s the only tert that works for what I’m going for.

I think the main thing that kills it for me is that random patch near the belly, and the overly bulky eyebrows.

I only really like scales on an XXX dragon, and I usually try to avoid those for variety.
