All SoftBots have a single horn in the middle of their forehead! They're connected to their internal tubing system and are often small to prevent breakage. Humans gave them these due to their fascination with a mythical creature called a Unicorn. SoftBots like to decorate and notch it as a status symbol among other things! Ones with a cracked or broken horn are often pitied by their peers...

NOTE: Horns are part of their internal tubing system, so they must be the same colour as the blood!

Additionally, as long as it doesn't look like a nub horn, feel free to give your SoftBot a broken horn!

SoftBot ears come in many shapes and sizes! Typically, if it's a similar style to that of fluffy mammals from Earth, it is considered Normal!

Types outside this restriction, such as larger than normal ears or ones not seen on furred Earth mammals are considered Special, and fully mechanical ones are Exclusive. Human ears are a no-go, by the way!

Normal Ears

Any and all furred ears of mammals on Earth can be considered Normal! This goes for animals like rabbits, foxes, stoats, cats, deer... if you can prove an animal on Earth has it, you can use it!

To the left are examples of several different Normal ear types. From left to right, there are: Cat, Stoat, Wolf, Deer, and Rabbit.

Special Ears

Furred ears that are a bit unique and are not found on Earth mammals are considered Special! This goes for larger than normal ears as well- something can be an Earth mammal ear type, but if it's huge compared to the head of the SoftBot, it is Special.

To the right are examples of several different Special ear types. From left to right: Large Ribboned, Wings, Plume, Large Mouse, and Batty.

Exclusive Ears

Entirely unfurred, mechanical ears are seen as an oddity, and are Exclusive! Those that rock them are treated with reverence and awe.

To the left are examples of several different Exclusive ear types.

The same restrictions that apply to the ears also applies to the tail!

However, Normal tail lengths must be equal to or less than 3/4ths of the SoftBot's height.

In addition, drapes are a must for any SoftBot! Normal drapes only have 1 layer and are made of fabric.
Two layers and non-fabric, organic materials such as leather are considered Special. 3 or more layers, as well as mechanical, and it's Exclusive!

Normal Tails and Drapes

Any and all furred tails of mammals on Earth can be considered Normal! This goes for animals like rabbit, fox, stoat, cat, deer... if you can prove an animal on Earth has it, you can use it! The only exception are limp hair-tails, like that of a horse's.

To the left are examples of several different Normal tail types. From left to right/top to bottom, there are: Fox, Cat, Lion, Shiba, and Rabbit/Deer.

Single layer drapes are shown as well. You may add things to them such as fur rims and scalloping, but it must be obvious these are attached to the ends.

Special Tails and Drapes

Furred and partially-furred tails that are a bit unique and are not found on Earth mammals are considered Special! This goes for longer than normal tails as well- something can be an Earth mammal tail type, but if it's huge compared to the body of the SoftBot, it is Special.

To the right are examples of several different Special tail types. From left to right: Spade, Long Flex, Fishy, Split, and Large Curl.

Two layer drapes are shown as well. As with the Normal drapes, you may add things like fur rims, scalloping, and the like to the edges of each layer.

Exclusive Tails and Drapes

Entirely unfurred, mechanical tails are seen as an oddity, and are Exclusive! Those that rock them are treated with reverence and awe, just like with those with mechanical ears. Even more so if the SoftBot has both at once!

To the left are examples of several different Exclusive tail types.

Metal drapes, tattered/torn drapes, as well as 3+ layer drapes also lie here.

All SoftBots have blood coursing through their tubing! Think of it like the liquid found in liquid-cooled computers, except they need it to live.

The Normal colours are Red and Black.


Special blood colours are more vibrant...


while white and pastels are Exclusive.

This is the expanded list of what colours are what rarity.

Also, the metal rims around tubes can be any colour, not just gold or silver!

Fun Fact!

SoftBots are actually born without their tubing and need to have it surgically added or they die a quick and painful death. A special mineral harvested by the many shooting stars that hit Poltera every year is mixed with the fluid within, which determines a SoftBot's blood colour. This was done to keep SoftBots dependent on humanity, but they eventually perfected it for themselves.
