The Peregrine gene and the Coatl's feathered wings represent the eagle he transformed into in order to kidnap Ganymede.

When I think of Zeus I think of war (God of war) and lightning. My image in the mirror displayed those qualities of what my mind perceived as Zeus. I believe the spell wanted me to recognize myself and allowed my mind to twist around the idea of me also being Zeus, a Zeus in my dragon self. I immediately knew who and what I was as well as what I had to do.

He needs some dark colors and a lot of big eyes to be perfectly adapted to the darkness in the deep sea. The wings are based on the delicate fish fins and to make him even more invisible in the water.

The wings look like waves, the smirch is the sun on the water, and the iridescent makes him look like a sea creature.

Breed: Guardian: Of course, there's the obvious Guardian = Water Flight association going on here, as well as the fins. But with my lore for Poseidon, I portray him as the Guardian of the sea, making this breed choice even more fitting!
Primary: Teal Ripple: This is pretty self-explanatory; both the name of the gene and the effect it presents alluding to the ripples and tides of the ocean. It also transitions very nicely into the secondary...
Secondary: Robin Hex: This is one of my favourite gene/colour combinations, as it looks just like the sun filtering in through the surface of the water (look up some anime/animation for especially prominent/stylized examples this gene combo reminded me of). It's really a gorgeous combination, perfect for the god of the sea.
Tertiary: Abyss Scales: I feel like this really ties everything together, making Poseidon look a little more sharp and threatening. Several scaled creatures also live in the depths of the ocean, and I thought it was pretty important to have Poseidon portray some sort of sea life. Not to mention, the colour- Abyss- is also an ocean term. Score!
