I have no horse in this race but I gotta say I disagree with this assessment of the fiendflesh apparel, and do in fact find it extraordinarily, well, fleshy.
that doesn't mean that this was an inconsistent application of the skin/accent rules specifically, necessarily; I just don't think you can point at the apparel and suggest a clear distinction such that it would fly as a skin/accent nowadays.
It's not really whether or not fiendflesh looks fleshy, but that it's a separate mass covering the dragon's limbs instead of being the dragon's actual flesh. Think something like the Bogwyrm accent from 2016 RoR, or the parts of Hellwell Snaps in 2023 that come down from the side of the skull cap. Similar stretchy, fleshy things that go around the dragon's body. In this UMA, with this particular color, the dragon's skin appears to be flying away from the mouth, exposing it's own jaw. That's the distinction, showing their own flesh vs wearing another's flesh.
It's dumb, but as others have said they just need to make it a more unnatural color like the other two and suddenly it doesn't count as a gaping wound!
