Summer is slowly coming to a close but not before gifting us a new Mutation. The Apoidea mutation was discovered earlier this summer but until now it was unknown if the mutation would pass to offspring or not. Now that it has been confirmed we are adding it as an officially recognized mutation. Apoidea is a mutation which covers the base coat with bee or wasp like markings. Markings may directly mimic the bee or wasp it is based on, or they may be a bit stylized. Apoidea completely covers Ancient Quirlicorns coats and covers Modern Quirlicorn coats with the exception of natural white markings (Dominant white may be hidden). While these Quirlicorns do not have stingers like bees and wasps generally do, their bite can become a medical emergency if not dealt with quickly. These Quirlicorns are venemous. These Quirlicorns may have antena on top of their heads.
Eyes may be any color, even multiple colors.

Quirlicorns find their roots in a more modern way with this mutation. It is said that over time their chimes with conjunction of modern technology changed these Quirlicorns coats to form this new mutation. Audio spectrum can show in various ways but shows across the full length of the Quirlicorn, sometimes even extending into the tail. Audio Spectrum hides markings on Ancient Quirlicorns, while taking on the marking colors, in Modern Quirlicorns, all paint and appaloosa markings are suppressed to below the hocks (face markings still occur however). In dominant Audio Spectrum Quirlicorns, the spectrum may glow.

The Aura Mutation, as the name implies, gives the Quirlicorn a living breathing and most of all visible aura. The Aura mutation originated in some of the most evolved psychic Quirlicorns, apparently their energy levels reached such a high frequency that they could no longer stay hidden. Quirlicorns with this mutation are also extra charismatic.
Auras are subject to changing color based on how healthy the Quirlicorn is and what they are thinking/feeling at any given time.

The Botany mutation was first found near the Sacred Dew Tree. It is assumed that the tree longed for more plants and then blessed Quirlicorns coats with the Botany mutation as a gift to itself.
The Botany mutation covers the base coat of the Quirlicorn with plant designs/markings and even turns these Quirlicorns partially into plants meaning they can have living breathing growing plants coming from their bodies. The plants may bloom, shed leaves, have leaves that change color with the seasons, have skin made of bark, etc. All plant types are welcome, however each Quirlicorn is restricted to only one plant unless the Twice Blessed gene is also present. The type of plant is determined by the base coat color in Modern Quirlicorns and white markings cover the Botany mutation. In Ancient Quirlicorns any plant type is okay.
Bay Base: Bay, Wild Bay, Buckskin, Perlino, Amber Champagne, Amber Cream
- Desert region plants like cacti and succulents, etc

China is a newly discovered mutation in Quirlicorns, though it is still unknown how or where exactly it came from. It is believed that this mutation originated in more ‘high class’ Quirlicorns. Their appearance tends to be more dainty than sturdy and their personalities can often leave much to be desired. None the less, this beautiful mutation was born. The China Mutation displays as intricate blue markings similar to those found on fine chinaware. Sometimes golden accents may also accompany these intricate designs. In Ancient Quirlicorns China keeps the base coat white (it will suppress the ancient base coat mutation, beware!) and markings will be beautiful shades of blue on top of the white base coat. In Modern Quirlicorns, China may fully cover the base coat making it white (just like with ancient Quirlicorns), OR it may become white in the areas where China markings are displayed. In Modern Quirlicorns Markings may only display on top of white.

The Dart Frog mutation gifts the Quirlicorn carrying it with the coat colors and patterns of a dart frog. It is said that Quirlicorns who lived in the more tropical regions merged their magic with dart frogs and the dart frog mutation was born as a result. The Dart Frog mutation completely covers the coats of Ancient Quirlicorns, and covers all but paint and appaloosa markings on Modern Quirlicorns.

The Displaced Horn Mutation is pretty straight forward. Quirlicorns with this mutation may have their horns placed outside of the standard horn placements. While the mutation alone does not change the horns (You’ll need to apply corrupted horn tokens for that), they may be shortened or made a little bit smaller if displaced.
Quirlicorns with this mutation may have the horn(s) displaced anywhere on the body that is above the bottom portion of the belly. A combination of Twice Blessed and Displaced Horn is required for horn placements below the lower part of the belly (leg placements etc).
Displaced horn(s) are also restricted from being placed on or as genitals.
Displaced Horn Interactions:
The Displaced Horn Mutation is only affected by the Twice Blessed Mutation and as such has no interactions with the other mutations.
Twice Blessed interaction allows for horns to be displaced to anywhere on the body (aside from on or as genitals).
Foxfire was found in Quirlicorns living deep in forests who had started consuming bioluminescent mushrooms as a regular part of their diet. It appears that over time these Quirlicorns started growing glowing mushrooms from their bodies and from them vein-like glowing markings would expand. In Some Quirliconrns glowy veins were found even without mushrooms present. While Foxfire in the wild don’t usually have much color variation, in Quirlicorns there has been no limit to the colors which may be shown within the glow, however, unless the rainbow Gene is also present, the Foxfire mutation will not express more than 2 colors at a time. On Ancient Quirlicorns markings allowed to be replaced by the Foxfire. Foxfire and Ancient markings do not have to be the same color.

The Frost Mutation, as the name implies, gives the Quirlicorn frost across the topline, along its tail, and can also be on their legs and face if desired (for reasons unknown frost will not stick around their eyes but may attach itself to their eyelashes). This is a newly discovered mutation, perhaps because the natural coated Quirlicorns make this mutation more apparent. Frost can come in shades of blue,purple and or green, but must always be near white. In warmer climates these horses may express less frost and instead appear to always be wet or moist. When combined with fire magic, steam has been known to raise from the frosted areas.

The Glitter Mutation, as the name implies, gives the Quirlicorn glitter through it’s coat, but usually not on their face, mane or tail. It is believed that this mutation originates from the glittery reflections found in snow, as most other Quirlicorn mutations are related to their surroundings. Glitter can come in any shade or color and may even be seen with as many as 3 different colors on a single Quirlicorn. Since the Glitter mutation doesn’t usually touch the Quirlicorns face, it does not affect eye color.

Inkheart is a muation that was discovered in a tribe of Quirlicorns who have sacred tattoo rituals. It appears as though the deities have blessed these Quirlicorns with tattoos they are born with. Furthermore these tattoos can come to life on the coat meaning they are living breathing creatures living on the Quirlicorns coat. Deep bonds and friendships are generally built between Quirlicorn and their tattoo because of the constant companionship.
Inkheart allows for tattoos of a single creature on the coat. Additional stylzed additions to the tattoos are welcome too. Inkheart goes above all other markings modern or ancient. While the tattoos are animated however, you may see them hide behind markings from time to time. Tattoos are restricted to the Quirlicorns body unless Twice Blessed is also present.
Tattoos may come in any single color.
This is a retired Mutation
Inkheart Interactions:

This means the tattoos can completely detatch from the Quirlicorns coat and become living breathing flesh to help the Quirlicorn if so desired.
Tattoos brought to life may have coats and markings from the mutations they live on the Quirlicorn with (For example a Quirlicorn with Twice Blessed Inkheart China would be allowed to have a China coat)
The Markhor mutation is a recently discovered one. While hiking in the mountains we came across this wonder. It appears that Quirlicorn magic merged with a herd of Markhors who live nearby and created this mutation. Quirlicorns with this gene grow markhor horns instead of the standard Quirlicorn one. It is yet unknown if a Quirlicorn with the Markhor gene is able to also grow the standard Quirlicorn horn or not, only time will tell. Aside from growing Markhor horns, Quirlicorns with this gene will also have at minimum a beard, at maximum a full neck and chest of hair (hair does not extend onto shoulders or under the belly). Normal manes may still be displayed with this mutation, but are not necessary. While this gene alters the general appearance of Quirlicorns, it does not alter the coat in any way. Eyes may be any color, or even multiple colors.

The Moonlight mutation gifts the Quirlicorn carrying it with a whispy glow along the topline which is said to represent how the Quirlicorn envisions the beauty of the moons light at night. Originating in colder regions where sunlight is often sparse, Quirlicorns relied heavily on the moon to light their path. It is said that over time some Quirlicorns were blessed with a glowing coat as a result of their devotion to the moon itself. Moonlight markings are part of the Quirlicorns coat and are not raised off of it. The light shining from the markings may radiate off of the coat a bit (as light naturally does) but may not create a strong glow like the Aura mutation for example, nor does it allow for glow in areas other than the markings. Moonlight may be expressed as white, yellow, red, or blue. Moonlight goes over most other mutations and/or markings leaving them visible underneath.

Everything in life needs a bit of balance, good with the bad, dark with light. It is believed that this is how the Plague mutation came to be in Quirlicorns. It is still unknown how long this mutation has existed but enough of them have come out of the wood works to make this mutation known now. Quirlicorns with this mutation are not the kind you want to make friends with or have wandering through your land. Plague Quirlicorns give off a foul stench and the things they touch can easily become weak and ill. In Ancient Quirlicorns the Plague mutation allows their basecoat to be any color. Ancient Plague base coats may show a range of gradiented tones within the same color (range of reds for example). In Modern Quirlicorns the Plague mutation affects the way white markings appear. White markings may be more stylized and may take on toxic like colors. Modern Plague Quirlicorns may also have coats that are a bit more saturated than you’d usually see. Plague Quirlicorns may have toxic whisps coming off of their bodies and/or hairs. These Quirlicorns sometimes also wear Plague Doctor masks.

The Polar mutation was recently found while traveling through the Icy Regions. As in many other regions Quirlicorn magic seems to have merged with the wildlife of the Icy Regions, creating the Polar gene. Quirlicorns with this gene will take on coat patterns of an acrtic creature. Patterns may be a bit stylized as long as the animal they came from is still recognizable. Polar mutation completely covers Ancient Quirlicorns coats and completely covers Modern Quirlicorns coats with the exception of Natural White markings which show on top of the mutation (Dominant white may go under the mutation however). Eyes may be any color, or even multiple colors.

The Quasar Mutation was found in a herd of Quirlicorns that had been living in seclusion and worshiped the stars. It appears as if their deep devotion brought the stars right to them, clinging onto their coats. It is said that Quasars are the brightest thing in existence so these Quirlicorns felt truly blessed when one was born with such a coat.
Quasar completely covers the coats in Ancient Quirlicorns, and covers all but paint and appaloosa markings in modern Quirlicorns. Quirlicorns blessed with the Quasar mutation will display Quasars on their coats. Those with Dominant Quasar may also have Quasars that appear to live and breathe on their coats (the quasars may have movement).

The Rainbow Mutation, as the name implies, gives the Quirlicorn Rainbow colored markings. It is said that the original Rainbow mutation Quirlicorn touched a rainbow which then infused with its genetics changing the colors of its markings. It is unsure if this lore is actually true however it is the best explanation around for this particular mutation. All colors of the rainbow may be present if the owner wishes, otherwise a minimum of 3 colors is required. On Natural coated Quirlicorns the rainbow colors attach to any white coloration on the coat (paint markings, roan, stockings, blaze etc)

Rooster is a newly discovered mutation which closely mimics markings/feathering found on Roosters or Chickens. The Rooster mutation is unique in that the colors may shift a bit as light hits the coat differently. This effect imitates iridescence on feathers in theory, all the colors are already present on the coat but you will only see certain a one(s) depending on the angle of the light hitting the coat. The Rooster Mutation covers both ancient as well as modern coats. In Modern Quirlicorns, White markings will go above Rooster however (Dominant White may be hidden). Some feathers may be found growing out of these Quirlicorns coats. Eyes may be any color, even multiple colors.

The Samhain mutation has been seen for centuries during the fall months lurking from the sidelines, though it has only recently become more widespread in Quirlicorns. Samhain has been a difficult mutation to track because it can act like a wild card of sorts, either giving the Quirlicorns carrying this gene a Halloween themed coat OR allowing their coats to mimic the patterns of other Quirlicorn mutations. When Samhain is displayed with a Halloween themed coat, the possibilities are pretty endless as long as they fit the theme, however major modifications may not be done to the Quirlicorn (removing flesh, adding wings, etc…). When Samhaim is displayed to mimic other Quirlicorn mutations, it may only mimic one (1) and must adhere to the guidelines of that mutation.

Saxeus is a Geode mutation in which the base coat color of the horse determines what color stone may be picked to design the Quirlicorn. Base coats imitate the appearance of the gemstones they are based on. All White markings go over (Dominant White may be hidden)
In Modern Quirlicorns the color of the stone/geode is decided by the base coat color. In Ancients markings will resemble those of any single type of stone/geode/metal
Bay Base: Bay, Wild Bay, Buckskin, Perlino, Amber Champagne, Amber Cream
- Reds, Yellows, Tans, Pinks, or Metallic Ore (Rose Gold)
Seal Bay Base: Seal Bay, Burnt Buckskin, Burnt Perlino, Sable Champagne, Sable Cream
- Greens, Pinks, or Metallic Ore (Bronze)
Chestnut Base: Chestnut, Palomino, Cremello, Gold Champagne, Gold Cream
- Oranges, Yellows, Whites, or Metallic Ore (golds) (browns okay for chocolate palominos or liver chestnuts)
- Blacks, Purples, Browns, Blue’s, or Metallic Ore (Silvers)

The Scorched mutation originated in the desert region as the Quirlicorns there took in the heat and learned to adapt to extreme temperatures. Over time their magic merged with the heat creating embers and flames which then began to stick to the Quirlicorns and alter their appearances. This mutation grants Quirlicorns to literally be flame touched, often leaving scorch marks in their tracks. It may express flames in/over the eyes and/or hooves, and the markings on the body will appear burnt or scorched. In Modern Quirlicorns all white markings (Tobiano, Rabicano, sabino, appaloosa etc) are covered by scorched. Modifiers like dun or roan are not affected by scorched.In Ancient Quirlicorns, the basic markings are affected by scorched. Markings will have a burnt paper look to them, ranging from light tan burns to pitch black scorch marks. Markings may have embers glowing on their corners or speckling the surrounding areas. Hair will take on flame colors. Flames can come in shades of red, orange, yellow, and blue.

The Shifted Mutation came about because some Quirlicorns envied those with beautiful mutations on their coats. As if bound by a spell, these Quirlicorns started being able to shift natural genes to appear as though a mutation gene were present.
Shifted does as the name implies; it shifts a natural genes appearance to that of a mutation gene of choice. Shifted will only ever affect a single gene, and will likewise also only be able to mimic a single mutation gene on a coat (even if chimera is present). Shifted will affect the entire region of the gene affected (In Dun for example, the lightening of the coat as well as the striping is affected). If the gene being shifted only covers a small region, Shifted will be confined to that region only.
Since Shifted does not affect the base coat, it is not confined to specifics based on the basecoat for mutations otherwise confined to them (Saxeus or Botany).
Shifted however, can not alter E- A- Cr- or Ch- genes. In Ancient Quirlicorns Shifted simply affects the markings on top of the base coat (only one color marking in case a second color marking exists).
Shifted Interactions:
The Shifted Mutation only affects natural genes and as such has no interactions with the other mutations.
Skelicorns are a type of Quirlicorn whose entire flesh has melted away leaving just the skeletons underneath and mane and tail hair (optional).
Skelicorns were first found near a stock of Dullahan Dews and it is assumed that the Dullahan Dews somehow affected the Quirlicorns in the area. There are a few rumors that Necromancers were the culprits, but with Skelicorns being able to be born it is likely those are really just rumors.
Horse colors/markings cover the skeletons of Skelicorns the same they would any other type of Quirlicorn. Skelicorns do not have eyeballs but are still able to see quite well. Many have glowy lights in their eye sockets, but some have also been seen with empty eye sockets.

The Solstice Mutation is newly discovered in Quirlicorns. It appears that the magic of the Solstice has blessed these Quirlicorns coats with cool colors of the moon and/or warm colors of the sun. This mutation comes with 2 different sets of genes. One for the Moon and one for the Sun, depending on the gene carried by Quirlicorns with the Solstice mutation, they will express either Sun or Moon (or both in cases where both mutations are present) on their coats.
The Moon Gene creates a coat made of cool colors. Multiple cool colors may be present or a single cool color. The Moon Gene may also display small stars on the coat or in the hair. In some cases, the moon gene has been found to create frost on the eyelashes of Quirlicorns as well.
The Sun Gene creates a coat made of warm colors. Multiple warm colors may be present or a single warm color. The Sun gene may also create fire in the hair or on the feathering.
In cases where both Sun and Moon genes are present on a horse, Aurora Borealis’ may be displayed on the coats as well.
Solstice Genes alter the coat color only. All markings go on top of the Solstice mutation. This means even ancient markings go over the Solstice mutation.
Solstice genes will cover the Ancient Base Coat Mutation as well.
Chimera or Somatic will create a second Sun or Moon gene, so if your horse only has the Moon gene, it Chimera or somatic create a second moon gene. It will not create a sun gene if none is present in the horses Geno. Likewise Chimera or Somatic will not create a moon gene if one is not already present in the horses geno. On Sun Solstice horses, Chimera and Somatic may only create a new Sun gene.

The Spectral Mutation gives your Quirlicorn transparency and a fog like tail. These Quirlicorns don’t do well in desert regions since their foggy manes and tails require a lot of moisture to maintain. Staying too long in hot regions without water supplies can cause a faster dehydration and eventual death. In Ancient Quirlicorns this mutation gives the gift of a base coat color of your choice.
Transparency may not go below 20% and may not go above 90%

The starling mutation mimics the appearance of starling birds found in nature. It is said that a small group of Quirlicorns from the plains developed a special bond with these birds and after time inherited their appearance. Starling mutation completely covers ancient Quirlicorns coats and completely covers Modern Quirlicorns coats with the exception of pinto and appaloosa markings which show on top of the mutation. Starling Quirlicorns come in all colors of starling and mimic their basic patterns closely, they can however have a more stylized eye marking though stylization should be minimal. Eye colors range from starling Quirlicorn to starling Quirlicorn but are always within the range of colors used in the starling pattern.

SubZer0 was born of Quirlicorns found frozen in time deep into the frozen Tundra. Many wished upon a star for Spectrals to make a come back, but what the heavens bestowed upon them was much better. SubZer0 Quirlicorns are so cold that their bodies often crack and fog/mist radiates off of their longer hairs. Very cold to the touch, be careful not to get frostbitten! These guys do not do well in warmer regions and are prone to heat exhaustion even at moderate temperatures. Fog/mist may display in the same colors as the hairs or it may be simply white.

Twice Blessed is a mutation which only affects other mutations of the Quirlicorn breed. Twice Blessed appears to multiply the magic of the mutation gene(s) it interacts with. Twice Blessed does not interact at all with natural genes so Quirlicorns with Twice Blessed as the only mutation gene will not display the Twice Blessed gene at all in their designs.
Twice Blessed Interactions:
Allows for designs based on any kind of bee, wasp, hornet or ant
Allows for design to pulse
Allows for glow from within the body
Allows for multiple plant species to exist on the Quirlicorn
Allows for golden markings to replace the blue ones

Allows for tattoos to become real animals for brief periods of time.
This means the tattoos can completely detatch from the Quirlicorns coat and become living breathing flesh to help the Quirlicorn if so desired.
Tattoos brought to life may have coats and markings from the mutations they live on the Quirlicorn with (For example a Quirlicorn with Twice Blessed Inkheart China would be allowed to have a China coat)
Allows for horns to be based on any type of goat or antelope or deer
