Corrupted piebald, or partial melanism, is similar to piebald but has the opposite effect. It disrupts the production of melanin but in the way of causing the coat to overproduce and become extremely pigmented, causing dark brown, almost black coats. This also affects the eyes of a Beatus with melanism, causing them to have very dark-colored eyes. The only part of a melanistic BA that isn't darker, is their skin. Their skin will be slightly lighter than their coat color.
- Flight feathers and webbing will match mane color.
- Mane can be slightly darker than the coat, it will never be lighter though.
- Hoof color tends to be slightly darker than the skin color.
Corrupted piebald also affects BA-specific mutations. Mutations that are black will not display on the coat at all. Mutations that are light in color, like Zebra, will display very faintly against the coat. Mutations that are colorful, like Peafowl, will display but be extremely dark in color.

Not currently orderable on imports.
Piebald is a partial expression of albino. So instead of the entire coat having disrupted melanin production, it only happens in certain areas. Piebalds will also have red eyes if they have a lack of pigment around their eyes. Their skin is always pale pink, and their hooves only a tiny bit darker.
- Flight feathers and webbing will match mane color.
- Mane can be slightly darker than the coat, it will never be lighter though.
- Hoof color tends to be slightly darker than the skin color.
Piebald also affects BA specific mutations. Mutations that are white will not display on the coat at all. Mutations that are dark in color, like Zebra, will display very lightly against the coat. Mutations that are colorful, like Peafowl, will display but be extremely pastel in color.
Eye Colors
Red, Pink, Red-Orange

Bald (Rare)
Trait Count - 3
A bald Beatus is like a Sphynx cat. They don't grow fur, or at times, they grow a very thin coat. They are prone to sunburn and need specialized riding tack to not irritate their skin.
Designing a Bald Beatus can be tricky at times. The easiest way is to design them with a thin coat, as that changes the design the least. However, you must include more skin than what's on a normal import.
Another way to go about designing a bald Beatus, is to give them no fur what-so-ever. In this manner, their 'coat' is just their skin color. Most white markings will display on a full bald, and some mutations. BA mutations are still in debate about what will and won't show on a full bald coat.
