Appearance[]
The Tapir gene gives a dragon dappled segments of stripes running lengthwise across their body. These stripes start on the face and continue all the way to the tip of the tail. A gradient appears behind the stripes on the face, arms, and legs. The pattern is based on that of a real-life creature, a tapir calf.
