Traits

A rare set of horns that leaves a lasting impression on those who come across them. The large and rather sharp Stag horns are a sight to behold, with large curving horn extending front to back with curving or curling prongs extending from each one. These horns are heavy and yet pawbirds seem to carry them effortlessly.

Trait:

• Horns may be medium - large in size, with small - large prongs mirrored on each one. 
• 4 - 8 prongs may be applied along each horn.

• Curling shapes should be organic and not resemble any real-world iconagraphy (i.e. hearts, swirls, letters, closed circles)

A rare style of...."horns" that aren't horns at all. These large Feathers grow directly out of the top of the Pawbird's head and act as a gague of magical energy around them. Each strand of the feather is a mana receptor which causes these Pawbs to be quite sensitive to the magical leylines in the earth. Due to this feature, these feathers cause a pawbird to be revered in a sense; Considered wiser than most due to being attuned to the world in a significant way.

Trait:

• Feathers may be 1 - 2 feet in length (Depicted is near max length, but could be depicted longer)
• Feathers can be designed with any markings naturally available to pawbirds and can be treated like any other part of their deisgn.
• Feathers may curl, bend, droop, or resemble any real-world feather.

• Feathers should not coil or twist. 
• Feathers cannot move fluidly as they are rigid same as real-world feathers.
• Plumed Horns do not grant a Pawbird flight.

A rare style of... ruff composed of a ring of appendages that are cool and squishy to the touch. These appendages wiggle, wobble, curl, and move around effortlessly along with the will or mood of the Pawbird that bears them. While peculiar to most land-dwellers, these ruffs call to a deeper part of Pawbirds; traits diluted through time cropping up every so often. 

Trait:

• 5 - 10 tendrils appear around the pawbirds neck in a ring formation. These tendrils may cover the Pawbird's chest at the longest.
• Tendrils may be designed like any other part of the Pawb's body.
• Tendrils may end in sharp or soft points.

• There should be no seam (or line) between the ruff and the pawbirds neck.

A rare style of ruff composed of the same material a Pawbird's unzipped arms are. A mixture of skin and cloth that wraps around their neck and hangs behind them like a hood.

Full Example

A rare style of ruff composed of the same material a Pawbird's unzipped arms are. A mixture of skin and cloth that drapes along their chest in a charming fashion. The tips of these "cloth" pieces have notches that can wiggle and reach out towards whatever the pawbird's focus is. This ruff acts as a very limited pair of second arms.

A rare style of ruff composed of the same material a Pawbird's unzipped arms are. A mixture of skin and cloth that drapes across their chest and down their back in a distinguished fashion. The poncho ruff is often complemented with silken robes, tabards, or loose flouncy shirts that can get tucked underneath the rim. More than a few scholarly Pawbs tend to sport this look.

Trait:

• A flat cape shaped piece of flesh that drapes across the front and back of a Pawbird, with the shoulders being fairly exposed.
• This ruff may reach the Pawbird's waist at the longest in the front, while the back may extend down to the Pawbird's ankles.

• The poncho may be designed like any other part of the Pawb's body.
• The poncho runs up the back of the neck but leaves the throat exposed.
