Appearance

Papilio appears as lacy spots and stripes similar to the pattern on butterfly wings.

The lines of papilio should always be either black or darker than the coat. Lighter and/or darker variations of the coat colour can fill in the spots and areas between the lines. Papilio can also optionally have white accent-spots, which should always be small and fairly round.

Papilio can display "false eye" spots as seen on peacock butterflies.

While the examples all show papilio markings starting from the topline of the horse, there is no limit to where papilio can appear (i.e. only on legs is completely fine).

Always goes below white patterns.

Minimum requirement:

  • A lacy/spotty papilio marking anywhere on the body.

Minimum requirements can be reduced or completely removed by the occlusion trait.

Allowed:

  • Can optionally affect mane and tail where it touches.

Not allowed:

  • Can not be in colours too different from the coat colour (unless modifiers/mutations that affect pattern colour are present).

Eye colour:

Doesn't affect eye colour.

Skin colour:

Can optionally affect skin where it touches. Dark patterns should darken skin while light patterns should lighten skin.

Horn/hoof colour:

Can optionally affect horns/hooves where it touches. Dark patterns should darken them while light patterns should lighten them.
