Weird mark on my horse's head

Anyone else ever notice this? Been around for as long as I can remember, but there's a weird spider looking mark on my horses head. Seems to be on all the horses, even the ones I preview in the crown store.
Gimme back my sweetroll or so help me

Mayhaps, but it's the same mark on ALL my horses. Makes me feel like it's a brand or somethingGimme back my sweetroll or so help me1 -

✭As Zorgon mentioned, it is the horses hair whorl. It is actually one way that breeders document the characteristics of their horse seeing as it can be in different places on the horse.Edited by Kuramas9tails on June 4, 2018 12:47PMYour friendly neighborhood crazy cat lady of ESO

A hair whorl is natural and unique. These aren't.

✭✭✭✭How do you want to make them look "unique"?
Place different textures on million of copies of the same mounts in game?0 -

✭Do you guys really expect ZOS to place the whorl differently on every single player horse?Edited by Svenja on June 4, 2018 1:07PMPC | EU

Niliu✭✭✭That's not what I'm saying. I'm just saying I don't think the mark is a whorl, so I'm curious as to what it is
Also curious as to whether other people do or don't have this on theirs.Edited by Niliu on June 4, 2018 1:07PMGimme back my sweetroll or so help me0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Looks like its the seam where the textures meet. You can see the seam line continue up through the headpiece.

✭✭✭✭Yeah, I've noticed this as well. It's more obvious on some of the horses than others but they all have it. All their markings are also all completely symmetrical if you look at them from one side, then the other (same with pets) so I'm really not shocked. I think the symmetry bothers me more than the whorl.PC/NAMountain God | Leave No Bone Unbroken | Apex Predator | Pure Lunacy | Depths Defier | No Rest for the Wicked | In Defiance of DeathMeet my characters :

I am sure that if you spend enough time on the internet you will be able to find a reference picture of a real horse that the ZOS artist used to create it. The reason why all of the horses in the game have it in the same place is most likely because all they do is modify the base horse model with any new stuff. AKA Reskin.Edited by Scorpiodisc on June 4, 2018 1:28PM1 -

This is very true and sometimes, like humans, they will have a double whirl, a few of ours had it0
