Shape and Placement
- Creates spines/thorns over a dinosaurs body, but does not create branching shapes such as antlers
- Can have some texture but should not be anything complex like defined ridges
- Thorns can slightly curve and twist but should be minimal
- Shapes must be semi-realistic (it should still look like a realistic dinosaur feature, not overly fantasy)
- Thorns can appear on any part of the body, but it may not cover eyes and mouths
- Can be in separate areas of the body- does not need to all be in one area
- Not allowed to mimic other mutations
Color & Style
- Lines must be drawn to look similar to the lines of the import for style consistency
- There should be a clear delineation between the import base and where the Thorny feature begins/ends
- Optional keratin area - it can be treated as keratin plates, or may be colored like normal skin, as long as its consistent across the entire design.
- Can be affected by color modifiersfollowing regular keratin rules
Interactions
- May affect existing keratin areas to change sizes and shapes
- May be combined with other mutation features
- May layer on top of or under other mutations as long as its consistent across the design

Incorrect Imports
Thorny is displaying in scattered clusters and demonstrating the maximum size (as compared to the import) of spikes allowed.
Thorny is displaying as a ridge of spines. It is not being treated as keratin, so it takes on the base color.
Thorny can change the size and shape of existing keratin- for example, carnotaurus horns. You can make them longer or shorter, change the shape and direction, and make them more/less pointy.
When changing existing keratin, you cannot completely alter the shape to make something new, like double-pronged horns.
