Traits

Some dextroluma of the Crystal Region have fins made of crystal, similar to the horns and halos found in the region. Unlike the horns, however, these fins are not found on all dextroluma who are genetically from the Crystal Region.

Some Dextroluma of the forest region can be born with hooves instead of feet.  This has assisted them in finding certain varieties of mushroom that have to be dug up, and allows them to move faster than other dextroluma.  Forest Dextroluma with hooves can have skin, hair, or fur on their legs with the hooves, but it ends at the knee.  (Fur and hair can be any color, skin must match their skin or use their glow/fin color).

[Rules note: The common version of this trait requires all natural legs to match.]

Moss finds its way into and onto all sorts of places, including the bodies of Dextroluma! Moss is harmless to Dextroluma, just think of it like body hair! If removed, it’ll most likely grow back, and it doesn’t always have to be in the same place!

[Rules Note: Moss cannot grow in a way that harms or impairs the body (i.e. it cannot cover eyes or impair the throat or replace a leg).]

Frog Feet seem to be an adaptation in some Rainforest Dextroluma that help them in reaching high places and swimming. These Dextroluma are also often found to be much bouncier in nature!

[Rules note: The common version of this trait requires all natural legs to match.]

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 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.

Coral Growth seems to have initially provided similar advantages to those Ocean Dextroluma who were born with or developed it.  Like known mutation growths (scale, crystal, flower) it grows on the body and can appear in many places and colors, creating unique textures on the body.  Unlike these mutations, it is seen quite often in Ocean Dextroluma and is not known to cause problems to them in the ways mutation growths are recorded as doing.  Interestingly, sometimes little fish and creatures make nooks and crannies of the coral growths into their homes, if the Dextroluma allows it.

[Rules Note: Coral cannot grow in a way that harms or impairs the body (i.e. it cannot cover eyes or impair the throat or replace a leg).]

Some Abyssal Dextroluma are observed to be born with or develop suckers.  These allow them to climb easier, grip surfaces that hands might normally struggle with, and can offer extra aid in managing difficult movements in the pressure levels of the Abyss.  These suckers can appear in all sorts of places and be of any shape or size!  That said, they have always been observed to match either skin or fin/glow color.

Feathers can appear in a variety of colors and sizes on the body, and while they do not aid in flight they can occasionally be useful for warning off predators.  Lots of Dextroluma find these feathers quite attractive, too.

[Rules Note: Feathers cannot grow in a way that harms or impairs the body (i.e. it cannot cover eyes or impair the throat or replace a leg).]

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).

Reptilian Feet seem to be an adaptation in some Desert Dextroluma.  They are believed to aid with traction and movement in the sand.

[Rules note: The common version of this trait requires all natural legs to match.]

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].

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).

Like scorpions, Dextroluma will develop these stinger tails to defend and protect themselves from potential threats. These tails are very flexible and a sting from them will be quite painful! Still, it’s nothing a little pain meds and ice can’t solve, as they aren’t venomous.

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.

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!

Some Dextroluma in the Tundra grow fur, which can be of any color, pattern, or texture, and grows anywhere on the body.  In the harsh cold, this has offered them a clear advantage in staying warm and surviving.  Furred dextroluma who travel, move away, or happen to be born in other regions have found that they can overheat in hotter regions, such as the Volcanic region.

[Rules note: Fur cannot grow in a way that harms or impairs the body (i.e. it cannot cover eyes or impair the throat or replace a leg).]

Some Tundra Dextroluma are born with paws instead.  Their paws enable them to retain even more warmth compared to other Dextroluma, as they always come with fur (which can be of any color, patterns, or texture, just like fur growth).

Similar to Forest Dextroluma, Tundra Dextroluma also have the chance to be born with hooves.  Hooves allow them to forage for mushrooms and other foods easily through thick crusts of snow and ice.  Hooves can have skin, hair, or fur on the legs.  (Hair and fur can be any color and there’s not any limit on how high they can go, though if it gets off the legs it will count as fur growth too; skin must be the skin color or the fin/glow color).

[Rules note: The common versions of these traits requires all natural legs to match.]

Researchers theorize that tusks developed in Tundra Dextroluma as an alternative to hooves for foraging, though opinion is split on which is better for the task.  Regardless of efficacy, they are considered quite attractive in the tundra!  Tusks can either match the Dextroluma’s other teeth, or be made of ice like the Arctic ice horn.

The wispiness does not stop at horns either.  Air Region Dextroluma can also have wispy hair that is textured like clouds with wisps that can stream away from the ends of the hair.  Similar to the horns, it never dissipates.

[Rules note: The entire hair cannot be made of clouds. Only the ends of the hair will appear wispy. However, you may make the bottom of the hair gradually shift to a cloud-like look.]
