When designing new species (alien creature, dragon etc.) and deciding on its skin/fur pattern - it's good to have some inspiration from real world. Apart from very beautiful and miscellenious patterns of colourful birds (obviously) as well as poisonous frogs - it's good to also attention to some lesser known mammals, like:
Striped seal (Ribbon Seal) [x]
Striped mouse [x], [x]
Sumatran Striped Rabbit [x], [x]
Striped bat [x], [x]
Spotted marsupial (Spotted Cuscus) [x], [x], [x]
I also love spotted fur in piebald squirrels or piebald birds but since piebaldism is possible in many different species I shouldn't count it as typically "spotted" or "striped" animals😅 But they can look very inspirational nevertheless❤️
