Flame

Pattern climbs the lower side in zig-zags.

Shows on the lower side, the middle of the side and legs.Polygenic: many genes together, so it comes in degrees rather than copies.

What it looks like

Flame pattern climbs up from the belly in zig-zags that live in the lower section of the side, reaching toward the middle. A strong flame creeps into the middle but doesn't live there. Legs carry a little pattern.

Flame is a trait with a strength rather than copies: the stronger it is, the higher and wider the zig-zags.

In depth

Creates flame-like pattern formations, possibly distinct from Harlequin flame-concentration. Appears to produce pointed flame shapes. Dominance pattern unclear. Polygenic inheritance suspected.

How to spot it

Flame animals show distinct flame-shaped pattern elements.

Where it came from

Flame is emerging pattern variant, early research stage.

How it is inherited

Polygenic: many genes together, so it comes in degrees rather than copies.

Flame appears distinct from Harlequin but requires more breeding data. Dominance unknown. Polygenic suspected. Source: Foundation Genetics Part 2.2.
