Evidence of having come across something wicked.  A small, dark, and cloudy mark clings to your bab. It almost looks like it's alive with the way it's edges seem to blur and crisp. 

•  A Touch of Wickedness

  🔹This mark should look cloudy, or as though a small burn mark has started to appear on the bab, a dark bit of smoke can emanate from it.
  🔹This mark can change shape at times, and it's edges seem to shift often, though the placement stays the same.
  🔹 A bab with this mark may experience fatigue or ache where the mark rests, exacerbated by physical or magical exertion.

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.

More species examples tba...

A festive horn type that displays itself as colorful egg shaped horns that gain a strip of color each subsequent year of a bab's life until the design is completed. No two patterns are alike, so it's always a spectacle come each babling's birthday.

"Apparently, this peculiarity seems to only be peculiar to non-pawbirds, which is interesting... Let's see here. 'A shimmering, transluscent covering wraps around the neck, with'- Is that fruit? Ahem, with fruit, it specifies 'whether cut or whole' floating within. My word..."

Think of the refreshing zest of lemon lime, the sweet snap of a peach, an apple, a grape. Now imagine that delicious bite of fruit is floating withing the neck of your pawbird friend. Would you take a bite? Well no worries! This delightful ruff is regenerating, with a bite only lasting about an hour or so before it seemingly mends itself. Pawbirds are aware of how alluring their ruffs can be (it's a point of pride for many) and will gladly share with a friend! (Many find this strange anyways.) 

• Trait:  

  🔹 Adds a ruff made of colorful jelly around the neck of your Pawbird!
  🔹 Jelly may be mostly opaque or transluscent, with stripes or rings commonly allowed.  
  🔹 Fruits may be included into the jelly, either cubed, shaped, or whole. The fuit may be mixed and matched or fall into a single type all throughout.
  🔹 The shape and texture of the ruff must follow classic large jelly mold shapes and can be placed anywhere along the neck. (smooth jelly is always ok) 
  
  ❗ Jelly should not be fully transparent or colorless. 
  ❗ Jelly can have "cutouts" at the base or top where flesh meets jelly to make it feel more natural, but the jelly should otherwise not have cutouts. 

A tail known most for its peculiar metallic swirl giving the tail a cinammon bun-like shape. Festival goers often buy Lere's special frosted buns for a chance at obtaining it for themselves! You are what you eat, right?

  🔹 A large, round, swirling tail sits upon your rump! The tail is tightly wrapped by a thin, metallic stripe that gives the tail its iconic shape.
  🔹 The metallic stripe is smooth, and can come in any appropriate color for the species, including traditional gold, copper, and silver.
  
  ❗ Metallic stripe cannot be black, or "platinum" white.

Old Version:

An extremely large variant of the cotton tail! Some people like to say all the spring cheer filled you up so much you had to store it somewhere, but most think it's an unusual growth spurt (others just consider it inconvenient...)

  🔹 A large, round tail sits upon your rump. 
  🔹 Tail should resemble a cartoon depiction of a "bunny tail" in size "jumbo".

  🔹 The Sugar Weaver Sun Bloom, affectionately called the 'Pincushion Bloom' is available to use for this trait. 
  
  ❗ To apply a sunflower to your leloko anywhere aside from the main tail flower you will need a separate trait for each application. 

May Astrael guide you.
