Taffy
This very rare modifier will only affect black-based donkeys. Red-based Drabardis can carry the taffy gene and pass it on, but they won't express the gene visually. Many taffy colored Drabardis darken with age. Their manes/tails are soot-toned with darker roots. It's common for the taffy Drabardi to have lighter dapples on its body.
Examples of Taffy

 Licorice Taffy (black)A chocolate taffy Drabardi (here shown with points) has a flat, non-fading, dark greyish or grey-brown body coat. It has a sooty white or silver mane/tail. |
 Red (carrier)Red-based Drabardis can carry the taffy gene and pass it on, but they won't express the gene visually |
 Chocolate Taffy (bay)A red taffy Drabardi (here shown with points) has a chocolate body with a reddish tint. The legs often have a flat brownish-grey color mottled with silver. It has a sooty white or silver mane/tail, just like the chocolate taffy. Not to be confused with a red flaxen donkey. |
 Dark Chocolate Taffy (brown)A blue taffy Drabardi (here shown with points) has a dark bluish gray body with orangish tints. It has a sooty white or silver mane/tail, just like the chocolate taffy. |
