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.

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.
Code:
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"

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

Hmmmmmm..... well in that case the spiked collar may also be a good option, or even the quills, because either one would look cool on a dragon!

Hell, maybe you could also different types of dragon features into the tf rotation, like finned tails and webbed hands amd feet from aquatic dragons, and feathered wings and lines of feathers down the back for aerial dragons! Ah but now I'm scope creeping lol.

Can't even imagine what TF would give you the chitin version of regal mane
Slime too, since Goo already has it's own version.
