Traits
Foxy Ears (Magic)
RETIRED TRAIT
Foxy ears are positioned more towards the top of the head, and are more pointed than other ear traits! Foxy ears also have increased size limits--unaltered they can be up to the full height of the head proportionally, and when combined with large ears, can be up to two heads tall (creating a more "fennec fox" look!).
Perky Ears (Staple)
Perky ears (usually) stand upright and alert! Perky ears should be situated towards the sides of the head (unless combined with foxy ears), tipped in a gently rounded point (unless combined with round ears or tufted ear tips), and no taller than one half the height of the head (unless combined with large ears).
*To use two different ear types (ex. perky and floppy, floppy and lop, etc.) it would fall under the Mismatched Ears trait!
Floppy Ears (Staple)
Floppy ears fold forward, either completely or only slightly. Floppy ears should be situated towards the sides of the head (unless combined with foxy ears), tipped in a gently rounded point (unless combined with round ears or tufted ear tips), and no taller than one half the height of the head (unless combined with large ears).
*To use two different ear types (ex. perky and floppy, floppy and lop, etc.) it would fall under the Mismatched Ears trait!
Lop Ears (Staple)
Lop ears hang on the sides of the head (contrast with floppy ears, which fold forward!). Lop ears should be situated towards the sides of the head (always), tipped in a gently rounded point (unless combined with tufted ear tips), and no longer than past the chin (unless combined with large ears). Lop ears do not have any structure in them and thus should always appear completely limp.
*To use two different ear types (ex. perky and floppy, floppy and lop, etc.) it would fall under the Mismatched Ears trait!
Mismatched Ears (Staple)
Mismatched ears are the use of two Staple ear traits. If one ear is Perky, and one ear is Floppy, you would use this trait instead! Any combination of Staple ear types works for this trait, and you can still add Gourmet upgrades (ex. Round Ears, Tufted Ear Tips, etc.) if desired.
Round Ears (Gourmet)
AKA ursa ears. Round ears are have a more prominent curve at the ear tips, often creating a completely circular appearance!
Tufted Ear Tips (Gourmet)
AKA lynx tufts or lynx ears. Ears with tufted ear tips have a longer tuft of fur at the tips of the ears compared to the fur on the rest of the ear.
This trait is stacked with any other ear traits (ex. for "lynx ears" combine tufted ear tips with perky ears).
Large Ears (Gourmet)
Large ears are more than one half the height of the head proportionally, and allow slightly more flexibility as far as shape goes compared to other ear traits. Large ears should be no longer than the full height of the head.
This trait can be stacked with any other ear traits except mega lop ears.
