Guide to Melanism
- No associated Gene at this time-

Required Traits:
- Absolute greyscale blacks - no hints of blue, purple, etc. Colors for Melanism (including ALL markings) must be picked from the greyscale side of your in your art program.
Example:

- True Melanistics will have black skin, sclera, hooves, eyes, horns, tongue, and gums.
- True Melanistics must have a true horn color designed for them derived from the Parent horn colors.
- Pseduo Melanistics may only express the mutations listed in the guide, and they all will have a grayscale color as well.
- Pseudo Melanistics must have their normal horn color showing.

Note that this guide does not apply to Poecilias, as a True Black Poecilia does not need Melanism to operate, rather a Black Poecilia is a mutation within the Poe gene itself.

Breeding for Melanism
Though Melanism is a randomly-rolled mutation, there are a few factors which increase your chance for a Melanistic foal.
- Breeding any two horses who have 'EE' in their genotype will up your chances just slightly.
- Breeding two Melanistics together results in an increased chance.
