Special Traits and other things

Three more special traits will make it into the game in the next update cycle. All traits have a 0.02% (as of the next update) chance of being obtained.



The only traits that directly affect gameplay in a non-aesthetic way are gigantism and dwarfism. Size affects your movement speed, as well as stamina consumption. Dwarfism's and gigantism's side-affects however are capped at the min and max that the regular size slider provides so that these special traits remain aesthetic-only.



Occults/magic will be added later on. They're special like the special traits in that you don't exactly choose them. But everyone has an equal chance to earn them, they aren't rare by any means.


Well rounded, boosts stamina, health, speed just a bit.
Vitality, boosts health by a lot.
Finesse, boosts speed and stamina
Fortitude, boosts health by a bit and stamina by a lot. You can also carry others who are just a little bit larger than you.

There will also be attributes in the future, which are slightly adjusted by your current affinity, but you can choose to update these however you'd like to.



When the baby models are added back in, age will affect a lot. Young animals can't fight, can't run fast, and don't show all of their markings or other additions (they have to grow into them). Young raptors especially cannot fly.

You get to do all the things you do now once you reach adolescent and adult, and for those who play their character regularly for a very very long time, they become elderly.

Elderly characters don't change appearance, but have additional editor selections unavailable to the rest of the age group as well as other special abilities. Seeing someone with an elderly character shows that this person LOVES this character and is extremely dedicated to playing them. Having one in your tribe, or even simply as a friend can grant you some nice bonuses.

The shark tail is still available to everyone, you might have seen it show up in the update thread because I mentioned that special tails will get tail markings now just like the rest of the tails.

As for other species you'll just have to find out ; - )

With the elderly, it would be neat to see the age in their fur. Like with canine, you can sometimes see grey in their muzzle. Also I don't know if it's for all, but elderly domesticated cats tend to dull in colour.

I guess it all comes down to preference. They still could have the age look, but have the option to not have it. Basically would mean a marking slot has been activated for old age markings? I dunno.

When the baby models are added back, will existing characters change to babies? It would interfere with my rps if they did.

Unicorns would be amazing though it would kinda go not quite fit in to the game
it would still be super cool though maybe as a special trait



i think that it would be nice if there was an option for makeing your character turn into a baby 
like when it comes out there would be a pop up that would ask would you like to make your character a baby yes or no
