The head is generally a rounded shape but can slightly differ with different patterns of things like head and cheek fur or things like whiskers, crests, spikes, etc.
The Cloakat's head has evolved to Not Have Eyes as they rely on their hearing to see (They're bat monsters), so they will never have actual eyes on the head itself regardless of the area they are placed. You can partially get around this with patterns that look like Shut Eyes only. Patterns that look like open eyes/dots or any of the sort to mimic eyes are Not allowed outside a "shut-eyed" look. (like sly fox eyes etc). Patterns to look like eyes or masks WITH eyes on them  (Masked Trait) CANNOT have emoting/moving eyes.

If a trait is marked "Standard" please leave it on their traits list by default unless another trait in the section overtakes the trait.

⚪ Any Bat Ears (Standard) For any Cloakat ears, the inside of the ears should always be peachy to bald in texture with a few visible ear ridges. Please also include the little nub or Tragus of the ear when drawing any ears to continue ensuring they are species-consistent. All ear types are generally to be bat-inspired and NOT other animals' ears unless a trait calls for it in this section. Can be any ear type that is reminiscent of a real bat's ears. Please do not use loopholes to replicate other ANIMAL ears, especially CAT ears. These can also be referenced from fandom bat ears like Pokemon and Monster Hunter so long as the whole design does not depict the character in its entirety. Proof request is required for bat ears looking very close to other animals' ears.


🟢 Snoot (Common) Any bat nose shape. These can also be referenced from fandom bat noses like Pokemon and Monster Hunter (etc.) so long as the whole design does not depict the character in its entirety. You can also include a muzzle with the nose, just please make sure it looks like a bat and no other animal if including a muzzle. Limited to 1 total nose per Cloakat. (Other animal noses are not allowed)
🟢 Horned (Common) Horns of any kind, size, and shape. This can be a single Unicorn horn or a single set of horns anywhere on the head. (Max is 4 total sets of horns, please.)
🟢 Resting Ears (Common) The ears of the Cloakat rest on the sides of its head rather than the  top, often sometimes giving it a more "humanoid" look. These can be any  kind of bat ear so long as you include the lines and tragus. Note:  Multiple Ears will generally look like this trait by default with more  ears added. Multiple Ears trait does NOT need this trait by default.
🟢 Heart Lines (Common) The lines on the inner ear are shaped more heart-like rather than their usual partly arched shape.


🔵 Antennae (Uncommon) Antennae of generally any kind/shape. Antennae amount is limited to 2 sets per Cloakat. Do not make them look like horns to pass for the horned trait, please.
🔵 Rose Eared (Uncommon) Reference "Dogs with rose ears" for a good example of this. The Cloakat can have one or more limp ears in any pattern or combination of which ear is limp (Is combinable with the multi-ears trait) You can have one, both, or more than the 2 standard ears be limp if you like. Side note: Having "limp ears" is generally uncommon with Cloakats. You can also give this to a Cloakat to give them floppy ears if you want floppy ears to look like a dog's ears so long as they still follow the ear rules of having the lined pattern and tragus underneath them. This trait requires the ear tips to remain pointy as since if theyre rounded, they can sometimes replicate event trait: rabbit-like ears.
🔵Jester Ears (Uncommon)
The ears of the Cloakat are either long ears curl to the side or curl back behind the Cloakat. These can be any kind of bat ear so long as you include the lines and tragus. Cannot be used to mimic Rabbit Ear trait unless used with said trait. Can use "accessories" trait to add bells to the tips of ears like that of a usual Jester's gimmick would have.


🟣 Whiskers (Rare) Whiskers of generally any kind/shape. cheek or eyebrow whiskers are both fine. please just keep the total amount under 5 sets total between the two areas.
🟣 Antlers (Rare) The Cloakat has antlers much like a deer, moose, or another hooved beast. This can be a single antler or one set. Ask if you have an Idea for more than 1 set of antlers with a reference in hand!
🟣 Shaped Ears (Rare) The ears of the Cloakat are a slightly less traditionally bat shape, now taking on an appearance similar to a simple shape. Things like diamond, square, circle, heart, star, plus sign, arrows, or crescent shapes are all acceptable shapes so long as they aren't used to heavily mimic other animal ears. The ears still need the lines and tragus! Cannot be used to mimic other traits of higher rarity, namely rabbit ears among other things! Please note that the only shapes allowed for this trait are the ones either mentioned verbally or are in the example picture for the trait! Please ask about other shapes with a reference or doodle to see if the shape you have in mind is allowed! (Credit to RosyScales for this trait idea)
