Talk:Master Ceadeus 27 Rathian and Rathalos Subs Theory/@comment-4212769-20140626100123/@comment-4212769-20140708183232

Err... Not every Rathalos (young) is red because some are blue and others are silver. My statement in this case was that only because those three Rathalos babies in the Ecology cinematic are red doesn't mean that all of them are red at birth but may be blue or silver. You took it the wrong way I assume.

It is a mutation in the typical sense as mutations are an alteration, a defect or a switch effect. Let's say a normal Rathalos has the genes of Azure Rathalos or genes that control a certain hormone production that leads to the azure coloration in his genom but they're not active, it may get activated by a mutation. That's a mutation just as well as the one that destroys strands or such.
