Available Importers

These are the designers that currently have permission to import Boucle Unicorns. Keep in mind that they might not have their services open at the moment, so make sure to check their journals. If you cannot find an import journal, they’re probably closed!:

Rules

• All payments should be made up front!
• It is okay to look up the status of your import, but please keep in mind that importers have lives outside of dA too! Give them a reasonable amount of time before noting them.
• Any deals made with an importer is their responsibility, and problems should be attempted to be solved with them first. However, if you cannot solve the problem with the importer, feel free to note luminasha or SilveringOak. They might be able to help!

Rarity

Rarities range from Rarity 0 up to Rarity 4.

The rarity is decided by what mutations, unnatural modifiers and unnatural dilutions your import has. If your boucle only has natural genes, it will be a rarity 0. Each unnatural gene will add towards your boucles rarity, so a boucle with one heterozygous unnatural gene will be a rarity 1; if they have one homozygous unnatural gene or two heterozygous ones they will be a rarity 2 and so on.

Rarity 0

A rarity 0 boucle only has natural genes. This means they are one of the following colours:

• Base colours
• Cream colours
• Pearl colours
• Champagne colours
• Classic peach colours
• Modern peach colours

The import can optionally have any number of natural modifiers:

• Silver (on noir- & brun-based boucles only)
• Flaxen (on rouge-based boucles only)
• Dun
• Grey
• Roan
• Pangaré
• Sooty
• Rabicano
• White patterns;
  • dominant white
  • overo
  • tobiano
  • splash
  • sabino
  • rigoletto
  • cirrus
  • fissure
  • residual white
• Appaloosa patterns;
  • varnish roan
  • snowflake appaloosa
  • fewspot appaloosa
  • leopard appaloosa
  • semi-fewspot appaloosa
  • semi-leopard appaloosa
  • snowcap appaloosa
  • blanket appaloosa

Rarity 1, 2, 3 & 4

If your boucle has a higher rarity than 0, it means it has at least one unnatural gene. That can mean an unnatural dilution, an unnatural modifier or a mutation. The rarity of said boucle is determined by the number of these genes they have. The following counts as unnatural genes:

• Unnatural dilutions;
  • Chocolat colours – spliced chocolat fange combos counts as a minimum of rarity 2, swirled bonbon chocolat combos are only available when buying a bonbon import
  • Aqua colours
  • Abricot colours
  • Rouille colours
  • Regius colours
  • Brasier colours
  • Soir colours
  • Orchid colours – except orchid pearl and intense orchid pearl, which are not importable!
  • Paon colours
  • Doré colours
  • Tea colours
  • Fange colours – except patchy smoke fange combos which are not importable! bleeding bonbon fange combos are only available when buying a bonbon import
  • Wyvern colours – only nWy wyvern colours are importable, regius combinations add to the rarity
  • Highlighter colours – due to highlighter being recessive it always counts as a rarity 2
• Unnatural modifiers;
  • Magique
  • Coloré
  • Siamois
  • Céleste
  • Éclat
  • Loup – due to its recessive nature, homozygous loup counts only towards 1 rarity, so an otherwise natural boucle with homozygous loup is counted as rarity 1
  • Occlusion
  • Marbre
  • Inverse white;
    • inverse rigoletto
    • inverse dominant white
    • inverse tobiano
    • inverse splash
    • inverse overo

    • fewspot koi
    • leopard koi
    • semi-fewspot koi
    • semi-leopard koi
    • snowcap koi
