SPECIES
GC.G
This part of the tag can be changed. Keep the GC part though!!!! Just the .G can be changed. Here are some examples:
* indicates that you can put your own species in that spot.
GC.G Gryphon
For mixed species, separate races with a stroke. Example:
SPECIES SPECIFICS
GC.G T(Fe.b Hl.af tlf eg)
Basically for Gryphs only. Start with a type tag T with distribution for
Fore (tag F) and Hind (tag H) parts. If your specific species isn't on
here, feel free to write it out. For example, T(Fe Hl) would be a
eagle/lion gryphon, while T(Fk.st Hhc.mainecoon) would be a Gryphon that
was a shallow-tailed kite in the fore and a house cat (maine coon breed) in
the hind. This secion is meaningful in addition to the color tag because
some might be a species but with coloring that differs (for example, they
may be a lion, but with spots of red on black, or a tiger with no stripes,
but all brown instead).
