Dragon TF perk Ideas and discussion

[razor777]

Help me out here boys and girls, I want to make a perk for the Dragon TF I'm gonna work on next, but apart from just giving it the scales version of Icy veins(Which the Frostwyrm TF should've had but I digress) I don't know what effect to give it really.

I'm open to ideas here, Once I have an idea for the perk I really like, Imma get started writing the TF right away.

Whatever else it does, it should probably give the Scales version of Regal Mane.

Above your shoulders and around your neck grows a retractable frill covered in red scales, making you appear quite royal.

Ooh hadn't even thought of that, not a bad idea NGL.

Maybe Regal Mane should be saved for the Eastern Dragon tf that @Angelyn is working on? Or at least the furred version...

Wait, how does the scaled Regal Mane even work? Does anything in the game already give it?

If not then it may be some kind of bug or whatever.

Regal Mane has a somewhat different description depending on it's v1.
There are variants for Fur, Scales, Chitin, Goo, Feathers, Spikes, Tendrils, Flowers and Amorphous.
Honestly, it could probably have a TF to itself.

Spoiler: Descriptions

case GLOBAL.FLAG_FURRED:
    t += " mane of fluffy, " + e.furColor + " fur";
    break;
case GLOBAL.FLAG_SCALED:
    t += " retractable frill covered in " + e.scaleColor + " scales";
    break;
case GLOBAL.FLAG_CHITINOUS:
    t += " collar of spiky, " + e.chitinColor() + " chitin";
    break;
case GLOBAL.FLAG_GOOEY:
    t += " flexible shell of smooth, " + e.skinTone + " goo";
    break;
case GLOBAL.FLAG_FEATHERED:
    t += " mane of poofy, " + e.furColor + " feathers";
    break;
case GLOBAL.FLAG_SPIKED:
    t += " collar of sinister-looking spikes";
    break;
case GLOBAL.FLAG_TENDRIL:
    t += " wreath of plant-like vines";
    break;
case GLOBAL.FLAG_FLOWER_SHAPED:
    t += "n aromatic mane of flower petals";
    break;
case GLOBAL.FLAG_AMORPHOUS:
    t += "n amorphous brace of translucent slime";
    break;
default:
    t += " magnificent mane"

Does anything in the game already give it?

Nope. Only Fur and Flowers/Tendrils, as far as I know.

If not then it may be some kind of bug or whatever.

I'd bet most people don't know about the alternate descriptions and so have never written anything to grant them.

I'd bet that's another reason we have a lot of interesting bodypart descriptions sitting in the back of the code, unused, honestly
