Hello! This is a more personal project of mine; it's based off my fantasy story, Opal Wings. Half of the story is told from the perspective of Feather, Sparrow and Lightstep, two humans and an elf respectively, but half of it is told from the point of view of the dragons - namely Sorrel, Roaring Wind, and Opal, but there are more. So this is a generator I made based on the genetics of the dragons in this story. They're similar to cat genetics, but there are a few differences. Any dragon you get with a colorful frill and crest is male. This is what the dragons look like in winter and spring. Toward the middle of summer, they start developing golden horns and gold-plated underscales, and take on a golden shine to their scales. In the winter, they shed these scales, and the scales can be harvested, and the gold extracted. This is what inspired the myth that dragons sleep on piles of gold.
All art, coding and story by me. If you are interested in the names of different colors and patterns, look at the costume names inside. Feel free to use the dragon bases with credit!
