Sika
Sika is a marking that adds a white patch to the beasts’ tail and rump. It must start from the tip of the tail and may spread upwards towards the buttocks.
The color of it can be pure white (HEX: #FFFFFF, RGB: rgb(255,255,255)) but slightly off-white colors are okay too as long as it is still recognizable as white, looks natural and is not overly yellow or blue.
This marking was inspired by Sika deer and the so called “gulastra plume” on horses, feel free to take them as inspiration if you have trouble designing your beast!
