King Cheetah (Marking Mutation)

King Cheetah

BigDivider

King Cheetah is a marking mutation that resembles the markings on real-life King Cheetahs: large, blotchy spots / stripes, three wide stripes extending from the neck to the tail and some smaller spots on their legs and face. If you need help with designing, google King Cheetah’s and take inspiration from them!
This mutation can not only be passed down if the mutation is present on at least one parent, but also if at least one parent has the markings Tabby and Spotting!
All markings that are present in the phenotype are mandatory and have to be added to the design.
