"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.)

  🔹 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 fruit 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.
