		+	Why is (Insert Skin) unable to get Bioluminescent Mutations?
		+	Skins are clamped (aka prevented from mutating) when the layers that are available cover too much of the body or are located on the bottom three layers. Attention and care was taken to try and enable as many skins as possible for the Bio Mutations, however, there were some cases on older dinosaurs where this simply was not possible. After these animals are remodeled they will have more up to date skins and will be given skins which can always have at least 1 Bio Mutation Option.
