Traits
Ossuary is a white marking named for its skeletal appearance.
A strange cousin to Overo, it spreads from the barrel outwards to the legs and "edges" of the body.
Ossuary causes irregular spreading of face markings, including bald face markings or irregular "skull" markings.
Ossuary should have crisp edges, which may be smooth or jagged.
Ossuary may appear to be symmetrical, but this is not a requirement.

Interactions:
- ❗ Lethal White: Homozygous Ossuary (OsOs) and/or the combination of Overo and Ossuary (nO & nOs) result in a fatal condition known as 'Lethal White Syndrome.' If a breeding results in a foal with OsOs or nO nOs, that foal cannot be born. Slots and items will still be consumed, so plan your breedings with care!
