Feather Mutation Coverage

Moon can extend to cover the feathered ears of Horned stryx. However, reaching the horns is the only exception to Moon’s regular coverage range, and the rest of the marking should not exceed the allowed range on the face.

Notes

  • Moon must layer above markings that would otherwise obscure the head, such as Hood, Bald, Unders, Dominant Blanket, Scorch/Fade, Midnight/Sunrise.
  • Facial markings, such as Ink, Stains, and Blush must layer on top of Moon.

Edges, Blending & Texture

Moon itself should have hard, feathered, or moderately softened edges that follow the shape of the face.
