Old stuff, mass upload. Once again, one of those alien dragons that I created and sorta persisting into today.
Original description be like:
Alongside his companion or familiar or pet creature. Mostly just side notes and rambling than real story.
I was thinking about how albinism in my interpretation of anthro dragons would appear (as in how it could occur than the physical look) back within the description text of Dragon Phenotypes. Just to summarise, draconian scale colour is vaguely predetermined and becomes vibrant by adolescence/adulthood before darkened at an older age, but how much it darkens is also influenced by how much the scales produce melanin.
People tend to mix things together (like me at times), so I'll split two definitions into false albinism (which is basically subjective) and the actual condition itself. The former can be leucistic (and not albino) and are usually a result of a draconian not producing enough to develop their colour, which results in very pale or white scales. Leucistic traits may result in having scale colour become undeveloped at a younger age, but those tend to have their scales become more of a greyer tone when they age whereas those with albinism can't and that those who are leucistic also typically have fully developed pigment in their eyes. There are also some who may have parts of their body fully coloured (usually their chest/tail), which functions differently from general scales.
For those with the actual disorder or those who appear to be pale and white, draconian cultures typically consider them as youthful or pure but in many cases, you won't see draconians go after their own kind with the same condition like in some human cultures. However, this dragon has all the traits, from their skin, horns and eyes. Though if they had hair, fur or feathers, these traits are applied too.
