Curiosidades
Kodiak es el pelaje de agradecimiento a Delphi, administradora de SWEM.
Su aspecto representa cuidados cosméticos como la esquila. En caballos claros, especialmente bayos y palominos con una copia del gen cream, las rodaduras pueden quedar escondidas bajo el pelo y verse plenamente al esquilarlo; por eso se llaman clipper dapples.
Al añadirse al juego, sus cascos tenían un tono muy azul y se les apodó blue suede shoes. La actualización les dio un negro brillante, fiel a la referencia. La wiki cuenta que Delphi todavía extraña ver los cascos azules y sonreír con aquel nombre.
Se confunde a Kodiak con un dun por su color, pero es bayo: no tiene raya dorsal ni otras marcas primitivas como rayas en las patas. La referencia era un bayo confirmado con rodaduras visibles tras esquila.

Kodiak is the staff appreciation coat of SWEM admin Delphi.
Kodiak is one of the few coats in game whose coat appearance is 'enhanced' by cosmetic grooming, such as clipping. Lighter toned horses, especially with single dilute cream present such as Buckskin and Palominos, may have striking dapple markings largely hidden under their coat that only fully reveal themselves when clipped (hence the term clipper dapples).
When Kodiak was first added to game, his hooves had a VERY blue tint to them, so much so that they were dubbed his 'blue suede shoes'. While his updated gleaming black hooves, true to the stunning reference used to create the coat, certainly make one adorable buckskin, Delphi secretly misses catching a glimpse of those blue hooves and smiling at their silly name.
Kodiak is commonly mistaken as a dun given his coloring, but is definitely buckskin based on the absence of a dorsal stripe and any other primitive/dun markers such as leg barring. The reference horse for Kodiak was a confirmed buckskin with clipper dapples.
