Overzealous Horns (★ Rare)
A set of large horns who've undergone a mana overload resulting in a jagged and craggy texture. Horns like this require a lot of work to get back to a normal form, with any sort of sanding or magical augmenting resulting in the same spikes and crags reforming on the new surface.
Kabuto Horns (kirin) (★ Rare)
A set of impressively flared horns that stand tall and end in a curved swirled point. Kabuto horns are often worn by distinguished knights and often granted to retainers of noble or royal households, though in recent times they are regarded as a handsome set to wear in general.
Dignitary Horns (kirin) (★ Rare)
A large and curving set of horns that frame a smaller diamond shaped horn on the forehead. High ranking officials, scholars, merchant heads, and head of the guards may be found wearing this style, but it has become more popular for kantis to augment their horns in this fashion.
Heir Horns (kirin) (★ Rare)
The royal set of horns are lax and curve around the head in a gentle sweep. Oftentimes only held by those with blood ties to royalty, though that is not as uncommon considering you can gain royal status by being appointed by the people. The natural appearance of this horn at birth may be a premonition of great things to come.
Heir horns continue that trend by oftentimes only appearing on the heads of those destined to take the crown, or so they say. This style is rare to come by and is regarded as something to be respected.
Priestess Horns (kirin) (★ Rare)
The royal set of horns are lax and curve around the head in a gentle sweep. The natural appearance of this horn at birth may be a premonition of great things to come.
Priestess horns are a variant of the Heir horns, coyly sweeping around the face with swilrled points etched into the sides. The branches on these horns signify the branching of fate and speak of posibility. Kantis with these horns may often be gifted with the gift of minor clairvoyance, able to sense when things are awry, but unable to delve further than that.
Basket Horns (★ Seasonal)
While labelled as "horns", Basket horns are typically one singular horn with two connection points on the skull. This singular horn curves over the head in a smooth or twisted fashion, reminiscent of the handle of a basket! Basket Horns may have a swirl at the end of their points if applicable, and must be striped like traditional bab horns if adorning a bab's head.
