Horn types and genes

A Veilhorn can only have 1-2 horns, which must be located on their forehead or between the ears. The exception is if the Polycerate mutation is present, which can cause more than 2 horns to grow. The horns can be as large as you can fit within the design template canvas (without resizing/moving the lineart or resizing the canvas), or as small as you want as long as both the horn's shape and type is easily identifiable.

Horn range

Veilhorn horns grow from the skull, the primary 1-2 horns need to be placed somewhere within the green range on the example.

Polycerate horns are allowed to grow outside the green range (for example on the jaw, neck or spine) as long as the primary 1-2 horns are still correctly placed within the allowed range.

Horn shape

The horn shape is determined by the H/h/h+ gene, with the following possible combinations:

Straight: HH or Hh
Curved: hh or Hh+
Coiled: hh+ or h+h+

Horn type

The horn type is determined by the A/a/B/b gene, with the following possible combinations:

Smooth: aa, ab, or bb
Twirled: Aa or Ab
Ridged: Ba or Bb
Spined: AA, AB or BB

Horn colours

There are a multitude of different genes and factors that can affect the colour of your veilhorn's horns.

When designing your veilhorn you have two options:

Do you want your veilhorn's horns to be the colour of their elemental alignment?
Or do you want the horns to be naturally coloured, determined by their genes?

Some traits and mutations affect horn appearances. Multiple colours and genes can be combined through gradients, see the customization section under each horn colour's respective page.

Keep in mind that you can color the horn separate from the hooves, for example a bay veilhorn with the nature elemental alignment can have a bright green horn and natural dark hooves.
