Traits

Unique tails are ones that are not seen on any creature known to this planet, and are distinctive to the individual Genekit sporting the trait. These traits are harder to learn, as Genekits must learn to shift into these shapes without anything to model themselves after.

* This trait includes things like shaped paw pads as those are not naturally occuring.

Feet of non-mammalian creatures are a bit harder for Genekits to learn, as the anatomy can be quite unfamiliar. But with practice, this is definitely a look a Genekit can achieve!

Feet of fellow mammals come the easiest to Genekits, and they can seemingly shift to these traits without much practice.

*This trait is only required to be added to a Genekit if clarity on the trait is needed (i.e. what mammal the trait is from)

Genekits with this trait have fur that is incredibly long. This can be all of their fur, or simply chunks of fur that are significantly longer than the rest.

*If you have a more unique-looking horn shape that you are basing off a real animal, ensure you are providing reference images for these horns when updating your design

*This trait is only required to be added to a Genekit if clarity on the trait is needed (i.e. what mammal the trait is from)

Genekits who only have Mammalian traits, and no other additional traits, standard or otherwise, would be given this trait instead of listing all all the standard traits individually.

Genekits with this trait have learned to turn either part of themselves, or all of themselves iridescent! Iridescent Genekits (or at least the parts of them affected by this trait) will slowly change colour depending on the angle you are viewing them and the lighting at the time. This effect is similar to the effect of some beetles, birds, reptiles and fish. This change in colour is not something they can control, as it is based on how the light interacts with them

Luminescent Genekits have learned how to make their bodies glow! This can be parts of their bodies, or their entire body could glow in the dark like a glowstick. This trait is similar to the luminescence found in certain fish and invertebrates. Some Genekits are able to control when they glow, others are not able to control it and glow all the time or with strong emotions.

Genekits with Chitin or Plating have armour- or shell-like plates protruding from their bodies, similar to the carapace of some invertibrates (beetles/crabs/shrimp) or animals like armadillos. These plates have clear beginnings and ends.
