Unlocking Mermaid Transformation 

Mermaid Forms are a Transformation that a Dextroluma must learn as it is not an inherent ability. 
 

To unlock the transformation: 

  1. Complete this prompt The Ancestory of the Sea
  2. Once the prompt is approved and the Pearlescent Pin  is in your Dextroluma's inventory submit the design for your Mermaid Form (To view how to upload additional references view [Here] )
  3.  Wait for approval and make revisions if needed! Unapproved Mermaid Forms can not be used outside of The Ancestory of the Sea
  4.  Enjoy drawing your Dextroluma with their new form!

 

Mermaid Form Guidelines

Fins Style and Color

Any fins present in Mermaid Form must match those on a Dextroluma's body outside the transformation. If a Dextroluma has Spiked Fins, then any fins on the mermaid tail must also be  Spiked Fins. Additionally, the fins on the mermaid tail must follow the same rules for glow color as the fins on the body would. 

Fin Amount

Fins on the lower half of the body (where the tail replaces) may disappear with the Mermaid  Transformation. They can also carry over having the same amount of fins on the tail as the legs or more fins can appear during the transformation having more fins on the mermaid tail than the legs. 

Tail Color 

The body of the tail can either be glow color, skin color, OR a slightly lighter/darker version of either color(s). The hue can not change and drastic color differences will be rejected. 

Land Tails 

Dextroluma who have tails OUTSIDE of the transformation can either lose or keep their original tails while in Mermaid From.

Tail Shapes 

Mermaid Forms are not limited to the standard fish tail most associate with mermaids! Please note that the rules mentioned above must be followed. While it may appear that lobsters and shrimp tails break the rule regarding fin style, the fin-like appendage on their tail is not a true fin and instead is an exoskeleton! 

Mermaid Tails  can take the appearance of ONE any of the following: 

  • Standard Fish Tail
  • Jellyfish
  • Octopus or Squid
  • Sting Ray or Manta Ray
  • Gator or CrocodileTail (No legs)
  • Sea Snake
  • Shrimp or Lobster
  • Seahorse

NO OTHER TAIL SHAPES ARE ALLOWED AT THE CURRENT TIME

Mutations 

There are two mutations for Mermaid Forms that may need some clarification!

  • Dextroluma Mermaid Tails do not naturally have scales and would require the Scales mutation to be present. To have scales on the Mermaid Form scales must be present somewhere in their regular form! 
  • Mixing two tail types (for example a standard fish tail and a jellyfish tail) would require the mutation Interrupted Change
