Koi Dragon Colour

Each tatsumi is born with its own unique colouration. In tatsumi folktales, one’s primary colouration holds special significance. Your primary colouration also impacts your Slumbering Dragon trait as a nishikin, and your Heartening Breath and Innate Magic traits as a ryujin, based on the table below.

Subrace

The two main morphs of tatsumi found in the Yokai Realms are nishikin and ryujin. All ryujin were once nishikin, so they are more like stages of development than true subraces. Choose one of these subraces.
