Was tossing around ideas with a friend (thanks for getting the creative juices going Shadow!!) and thought of this!

I dub thee...

Crocodile
Alternative names could include Scales or Scutes




Shown above in Onyx on Albino and Murk bases!
It is intended to be a more complex alternative to Crackle, with a bit more personality to it
_{(dont listen Crackle ilu <33)}

** NOTE TO XYLAX/ADMINS: I'll be adding a mockup on the proper marking request form when I can! It's final exams and I allowed myself a 1 hour break to go crazy and make this initial mockup, but I'll add the formal one when I can! <333

Planned edits
After some great feedback from Krya (<33), I've got some edits planned for when I have the time:
• Stagger back scutes a bit to Reduce Ham Feeling
• Break up belly scutes into two smaller rows for 1-2 rows before fading out
• Maybe fit them more tightly together over-all?

Acquisition:

Hypothetically, they could be fully breed-only markings, or they'd be crafted out of Crocodile Scales, which can be a drop from the May Championships Arena:


Colors:

Crocodile should come in a variety of natural and less natural colors- I would assume it would be a similar color list to the Cheetah Royal applicator, but I made my own additions:

The current hypothetical lineup would beBlack, Cream, Gold, Ginger, Onyx, Noctis, Steele and Tan Crocodile, to provide a variety of colors for most designs be it on an applicator or breed-only.

I also included Lilac Crocodile as a 100% breed-only marking- Lilac is full of applicable/Piety markings made BO, so I can see it fitting right in with Points and Siamese! ;3 However, I would completely understand if Lilac is excluded period to keep all Crocodile marks in one applicator, if they go that route.

I personally would not recommend having Crocodile appear in Applicator/Event colors- adding Cheetah Royal to Angelic and adding Inverted Brawl to Scoundrel were both confusing additions. In my opinion, this should be limited when possible.
