I’m still working on this but let me know what you think!!
I’ve always wanted to make a reference sheet for what coats each rat had. (I HC them as fancy rats not wild ones, why? It’s more fun). It’s long and I take critiques! Also rat genetics suck.
PearlPelt -obviously a Pink-eyed White rat, standard ears and coat.
Goldshard – Silver Fawn: a rich orange fawn, wit silver guard hairs. Belly fur is white, no brindling. Red eyes. Standard ears and coat.

Snare - unfinished
Twirltounge – Russian Silver – double blue (a silver blue rat from a Russian blue + blue breeding I think?) standard ears and a satin coat. The ideal satin coat is thinner and longer, fine to the touch, and has a bright sheen. Whiskers are normally kinky/waved/curled. I’m still debating this color.

Twitchtip – Husky Roan with Blaze markings, standard ears and coat.
Ripred – Black Silvermane (I think the official name is Black D’Argent?) Coat is shinier and has a silky feel when compared to standard coats. Get whiter with age.

Silksharp – Down under, spotted tabby standard ears/coat.

Razor -
Mange - (Non-recognized coat) a standard Harley coat rat. (I may change it back to a double rex). Haven't picked a color yet.
Lapblood - still thinking
Makemince - still thinking
Flyfur – Dumbo ear, Rex rat. Still thinking of colors/markings.
Sixclaw - I HC them as having a genetic defect that makes too much keratin for the body and creates a nail at the tip of their tail (seen in fancy rats). Hence the name “Sixclaw.” Havent decided on color or markings. Will be similar to Flyfur.
Fangor – Agouti, standard.
Shed – American Blue, Dumbo. Maybe with a Berkshire or some kind of fun marking? I haven’t decided.
King Gorger - Marten aka Red Eyed devil (R.E.D.)
