Traits
Two or Less Horns (Common)
All dextroluma possess horns. Most of them only have one or two horns total, which is all they need and is sufficient to use their natural healing easily. Horns can be any shape or size.
Three or More Horns (Rare)
All dextroluma possess horns. Some of them possess more than two horns, although it is not believed to increase their natural healing ability. Horns can be any shape or size.
Demon Horns (Common)
It is often suggested that the concept of demons takes its name from these horns, rather than the other way around, due to the frequency with which it is seen on kipitin. These horns are generally on the taller side, with a slight angle inwards towards the tips. The amount of scattering on them varies, but there is always at least some of the horn missing. Demon horns can only be placed on the forehead/headband area.
All kipitin horns can be made from glass, metal, or crystal, and there is no rarity for any material option.
Sliced Horns (Common)
These frequently seen horns typically have a more curved appearance than demon horns, but are most distinctive due to their style of scattering, which always looks as though slices have been taken out of the horn. The amount of scattering on them varies, but there is always at least one slice missing. Sliced horns can only be placed on the forehead/headband area.
All kipitin horns can be made from glass, metal, or crystal, and there is no rarity for any material option.
Swirl Horns (Common)
These frequently seen horns are sometimes considered to resemble a tornado or smoke in general. They typically have a base that starts out similarly to demon or sliced horns, but then the shape begins to spiral up, with various pieces scattered apart from each other. The amount of scattering on them varies, but there is always at least some of the horn missing. Swirl horns can only be placed on the forehead/headband area.
All kipitin horns can be made from glass, metal, or crystal, and there is no rarity for any material option.
Lyre Horns (Common)
These frequently seen horns resemble the shape of a lyre frame. Their typical scattering often takes the form of missing slices, but it’s not unheard of for them to be differently scattered. The amount of scattering on them varies, but there is always at least some of the horn missing. Lyre horns can only be placed on the headband area.
All kipitin horns can be made from glass, metal, or crystal, and there is no rarity for any material option.
Shattered Horns (Common)
These are the least intact horn to be regularly seen on kipitins. Shattered horns usually have a somewhat intact base… but after that, it’s anyone’s guess what the horn shape could have been if it had been intact. Only tiny shards remain. The amount of scattering on them varies, but there is never enough to create a shape. Shattered horns can be placed on any part of the head, minus the face.
All kipitin horns can be made from glass, metal, or crystal, and there is no rarity for any material option.
Ram Horns (Rare)
Although ram horns are less commonly seen on kipitins, they are considered to be a fairly standard shape. They can be spread out, like in this example, or more compacted and closer in to the head. The amount of scattering on them varies, and typically takes the form of slices, but they always have a curve you might see on a ram’s horns. Ram horns can be placed on any part of the head, minus the face, and can point in any direction.
All kipitin horns can be made from glass, metal, or crystal, and there is no rarity for any material option.
Branched Horns (Rare)
Branched horns are infrequently seen, but are primarily distinguished by three branches that grow from the horns’ thick base. These branches are never scattered from the base of the horn and are always connected. Above them float different little shards of horn - a minimum of three pieces, but it’s not unheard of to see more shards.
All kipitin horns can be made from glass, metal, or crystal, and there is no rarity for any material option.
Forked Horns (Rare)
Forked horns are rarely seen, but are primarily distinguished by seeming to be more than a pair of horns at first glance. The bases of the two primary horns grow from the head, splitting into two separate pieces that are never scattered, while two shards float above the head and can easily be mistaken as an extra set of horns. There is typically additional scattering above the horns, although the exact amount can vary.
All kipitin horns can be made from glass, metal, or crystal, and there is no rarity for any material option.
Skeletal Horns (Rare)
These unusual horns are characterized by a strong base that is abruptly severed from the rest of the horn and a minimum of two long floating shards above the base that may vaguely resemble the position of the tibia and fibula of a humanoid skeleton. There is typically additional scattering in addition to this, although the amount can vary.
All kipitin horns can be made from glass, metal, or crystal, and there is no rarity for any material option.
Unique Horns (Admin)
On occasion, a kipitin is created who has horns that are different from the standard ones. They can be different shapes, lack scattering, and even come in different numbers. (Some kipitin with this trait may have a singular horn, others may have thirty, for example).
Despite this, their horns are still invariably made from glass, metal, or crystal, and there is no rarity for any material option.
Unique Material Horns (Seasonal)
On rare occasions, a Dextroluma may be born with horns that are an abnormal material. These are generally things not found naturally in the world, such as glass or metal, and can be filled with liquids.
Horns (Mutation)
On occasion, a Lockette manifests with horns. These horns can be anywhere on the shell and of any size. They may also be made of anything, though it is more typical to see ones made of skin, bone, or scales. The horns may represent a clue at the origin of their saura, though there is little conclusive evidence to this supposition.
Mushroom Horns (Regional)
Mushrooms of any shape, size, and color can grow in place of a Forest Dextroluma’s horns. If, for some reason, you feel inclined to nibble on your own horns, they will grow back!
Shell Horns (Regional)
Shell horns include not only shells of all colors, shapes, and sizes, but also coral. Research indicates that these types of horns have provided Ocean Dextroluma with easy camouflage, historically, and now they are delighted in for their unique beauty.
Bone Horns (Regional)
Bone is the core of all Dextroluma horns, but it seems that in Desert Dextroluma, this can reach a unique level, where skin doesn’t grow over the bone core, but more bone does, whether in segments reminiscent of vertebrae or a more smooth surface.
Magma Horns (Regional)
For Dextroluma who live in the Volcanic Region, magma is nothing to worry about - especially not when it can become part of the body. Researchers believe that Magma horns give the Dextroluma who have them a higher tolerance towards heat that helped them adjust to such a hot and arid climate. (Magma horns that a Dextroluma is born with usually develop their characteristic heat shortly after birth).
Rock Horns (Regional)
Rock Horns seem to have originally served a purpose similar to the Ocean’s coral and shell horns, allowing Dextroluma greater camouflage in their region. While often solely composed of rock, they can also often be seen featuring other components - ore veins, and even bone replicating fossils have been seen as components of rock horns!
[Rules note: On a trait sheet, a rock horn with fossils would be recorded as using both Desert and Mountain horn materials, which is fine as they are part of the same regional group].
Ice Horns (Regional)
Strangely, ice horns do not at all melt or lose their shape, but they keep the beauty of an ice sculpture rather well. These horns are sometimes mistaken for glass, as they are almost invisible to some!
