Umbral variant
Umbral Thornblade is not a form: it is a rarity roll on the catch, like Sparkling. It rolls at 1 in 3,000, and the game describes it this way: “Affected by concentrated Vein energy, Innate Potential is always Perfect. After evolution or transformation, the Umbral appearance disappears.”
The Umbral appearance is its own dark recolour in game. The render above is the ordinary one: we have no published artwork of the Umbral coat to show.
