Genetics: B_
Locus: B | Ty | Cv | Dt | D
BCv = Bengal, BTy = Bengal, BD = Dun Bengal, BDt = Bengal, nB/BB = Bengal

Overview:

Vertical stripes should cover the entirety of the neck and body, becoming horizontal on the legs and stopping at the knee/hock.
Stripes should always be darker than whatever is below them, either in one solid color that is darker than all other points or darkened to follow the body gradients.
Stripes should vary in thickness, have tapered ends, and should not be perfectly straight nor overly wavy. They should follow the flow/curves of the body, striping vertically from topline to underside. Stripes may merge but not cross.
If present on the face (optional), stripes should be smaller and focused around the eye/forehead/cheek area rather than the entire head. Head markings should look fairly cat-like (similar to tiger or tabby face markings), rather than radiating out like Dun cobwebbing.
May optionally cause subtle/medium lightening beneath the stripes on the underside, inner legs, muzzle, and cheeks.
May optionally cause a white spot within the stripe pigment color on the back of the ears, similar to false eye markings on real tigers.
Mane/Tail: Neck stripes may continue into the mane. Tail may be striped, following the direction of the hair.
Skin: No effect
Eyes: No effect

Interactions:

Dun Bengal: When Dun and Bengal are present on the same horse, both will co-exist.
- Causes body dilution under the Bengal markings.
- Also causes dorsal stripe and leg barring, but not shoulder barring.
- Dorsal stripe will be underneath Bengal markings.
- Only applies to normal Dun, not Primitive Dun.
Primitive Dun, Tabby, and Civet: Does not interact with these genes. Will display as normal Bengal, hiding the other gene.
